Dror Abend-David is worth three and a half books and a bunch of articles, and can be exchanged for two camels and a goat. He has a thick skin, a big head, and a chip on his shoulder. With a lending hand and sticky fingers, he has a heavy heart and no leg to stand on. He is over qualified, overreaching, over selling, overzealous, overworked, over acting, over the hill, and overdoing it. His hobbies include grading papers, attending committee meetings, and writing syllabi and project proposals.
