My Dumbledore Relationship

I've come to the conclusion that I have a very Dumbledore relationship with my dissertation advisor. Allow me to explain. In the Harry Potter series, Harry often notes that he and his mentor Albus Dumbledore talk only about Harry's plans, Harry's future, Harry's life. And I've noticed that it's the same with my advisor. I've known her for five years now, but I couldn't give you more than a basic sketch of her life. I know she was born in California, and I know where she got her various degrees. I know she's outdoorsy. I've also met her husband a few times. But beyond that, I know virtually nothing about her. Her mother has died since she's been my advisor, but I didn't know that until nearly a year after the fact, when she mentioned it in passing. It's strange, really, to know so little about someone who has such a major role in one's life.
