Nervous Nellies, Unite!

Well it makes me feel better to know that historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who lived quite the amazing and productive life before he died yesterday of a heart attack, used to get so nervous before teaching at Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhvahd that he threw up before every class.

Or does it? I get overly nervous too but I didn't write a biography of Andrew Jackson at the age of 27 that won a Pulitzer.

Dang it.
