Rachel and I decided it was once again time for a pilgrimage to Wisconsin, to indulge in cheese curds (super-squeaky) and sushi (much fresher than what we’ve found in Chicago). We took along another student in our department, Francis, who, despite being English, cannot hold his liquor, and has foolishly challenged me to a tequila-drinking competition. You’re on, Francis. I shall destroy you!
