Oddly, though I don't remember ever being as productive as I'd hoped/planned during those summers "off," the evidence of my c.v. strongly suggests that I was, somehow, producing considerably more scholarship in the years when I didn't teach during the summers than I have for the past 5+ years that I've taught during the summer.

I thought, "Great, I can go drink some whiskey!" They didn't have any whiskey: they had carrot juice, since they turned out not to be bikers. They were bicyclists, with their Spandex and helmets.<br /><br />I hate it whenever that happens.

Wittner? One of the English proffies teaches a poetry course in prison, and his students, upon release, form a motorcycle gang, "The Daffodil Society." He invites them to read some of their poems at an alumni reunion at which the university administration wants to do fund-raising, with excellent results.
