“In times of stress, or when I just need general advice, I tend to turn to Dr. Serapiglia. I'd like to think it's because he’s so approachable and always has something to say.

The past few times I've frequented his office, he’s gone on about his expanse of bamboo. He says that now that the stand has been razed the stumps are random heights and are difficult to walk on ... not that I’m sure that he, or anyone, really, should go frolicking about through a patch of bamboo stumps. He tells me that he’s since been trying to find things to do with the leftover stalks other than setting pieces on fire, or using them for tomato stakes and various crafts.

You know, it’s strange, but I find it very therapeutic for some reason, listening to Serapiglia’s crazy bamboo antics. It keeps me grounded and helps me get out of my own head for awhile.”
