I think it's the unblinking stare and that his arms are nearly twice as long as his legs. Not that I've spent valuable writing time trying to figure out why the banana is creepy myself, of course.

I know my stories are tiresome, but sometimes I can't help myself. It's part of my nature.

So thinking about that professor reminded me of a story about him that my mother liked to tell. The professor in question was a German Jew, who escaped Germany just ahead of the Nazis.

So anyway, when he had scheduled tests, they'd do a review of the subject matter on Friday, and then, at the end of class, he'd say, "Go home. Go see the football game. Go have fun. Do not study for this exam!" He was insistent about it."

Somewhat out of character for a teacher, no? Somebody finally worked up the nerve to ask about it. In answer, the professor started naming people, dozens of names nobody had heard. He said, "These are my friends, men I went to university with. They were brilliant men, the pride of our university. They all worked so hard, studied so hard, all wanting to be the best. They're all dead. I'm the only one that survived. All that effort and study was for nothing, because none of them escaped the Nazis. You're young, you're alive, go enjoy it while you can."

I'm not sure I agree, but that story always touched me.

Of course, it helps that all the wars in question are fought on dragonback.

I didn't realize that today was towel day. A very particular kind of towel day.

Oh hey guys. Um.

I seem to have worn out my welcome in the Conquering Challenges section by losing my temper. In the interest of keeping the Cantina positive, I won't talk about why I was there in the first place, could I just get a shout-out with regards to being a valued Cantinerette or something similar? I think that would cheer me right back up.

Yup, congratulations. And, I am insanely jealous. However, I've been banging my head against this particular wall for quite some time, and see no reason to stop yet.
