For those of you who don’t know what Mono is… let me explain. It is known to most ignorant people as “The Kissing Disease.” This, of course, makes anyone who has it appear to be a whore or a gameshow host. But, this isn’t a proper representation of how the disease is actually spread. I certainly didn’t get it through kissing (I more than likely caught it from my roommate Jon, or from just general overwork). But the disease is actually spread through saliva and mucus. So you could really call it the “Blowing Your Nose Into Someone’s Mouth/Licking Someone’s Eye/Sticking Your Tongue In Someone’s Ear/Sneezing on Someone Else’ Tongue/Pouring a Cup of Your Spit into Someone’s Coffee” Disease. That’s a little more fitting. —Mike Rubino —Thank You Epstein-Barr (Tranquility Lost)
An SHU student, who I’ve never actually had in a class, offers this as his end-of-term excuse. (Tongue in cheek, of course.)

Will definately note that; it seems information regarding the production of the play is rather difficult to locate here. Must say, you have much information and links on your pages! Will continue reading ; all the best in your research and teaching!
You're very welcome, Melissa. I don't mind at all that you linked to my site -- that's why I put all this stuff online in the first place.
If you can get a copy of my book (Technology in American Drama) through interlibrary loan, I have a chapter on Streetcar that you might be interested in looking at. Just as my interest in medieval drama focuses on production methods and stagecraft technology, I looked at the technology that appears in Streetcar (such as the telphone, the radio, and the light bulb).
Good luck on your dissertation.
Dear Dr. Jerz,
thanks for your correction on the timing of the cycles. I was extremely amazed watching the simulation on your site, and found it a very useful tool in understainding the transitions. As you did mention, it was a site I'm glad to have found while undergoing my undergraduate studies in Medieval Literature; considerably more succinct and concise than other pages I've looked at. I found your website while looking up REED at the Univeristy of Toronto, as my lecturer Dr Greg Walker suggested. I hope you do not mind me taking the liberty placing a link to your page on my blog. Am honoured that you took the time to correct me. Did notice that your teaching plans include a viewing of T. Willam's A Streetcar Named Desire (Marlon Brandon), something I plan to research further on for my dissertation, both film and script: can't wait to work on it! Many thanks for 'dropping a line' once again!
Best wishes,
Melissa
