My daughters call me Yoda. Indeed I was like him before he was born. My students also referred to me by the same name. I guess I read too much of Edgar A. Poe in my youth. As I have said, I grew up in the clutches of a University Family. This is what I heard from babyhood on at the breakfast table. I thought everyone talked like my aunts, uncles and cousins. When I played football, my buds thought I was crazy.
