Although I'll be in the city around the time of the exhibit, living here in
Kansas provides me more than enough exposure to arachnids... I've lived in a
lot of places, but I've never seen so many and so many varieties of spiders.
On top of that, my clinical colleague used to have a tarantula ("Cookie" was
her name, and she actually was very sweet -- as spiders go, at any rate) that
my colleague used for desensitization exercises in her classes.
