Heh. Next year I want to follow this person around for Simchat Torah. Hakafot that go for hours instead of 15 minutes? Singing and dancing and general fun? Wow.

Too bad about the distance, though.

For lrstrobel:

1. Yes.

2. Pretty much, yes. Questioned during grade school, confirmation was due to parental coercion and not belief, and when I hit college I bailed. I then spent a couple decades ignoring the issue.

3. Ooh, that's tough, because there isn't really one (nor is it a major area of personal fandom). Probably Bugs Bunny, or if you want a more specific answer, the Marvin the Martian shows (though I disliked Daffy Duck in general). If I had encountered it at an appropriate age I'd probably say Bullwinkle.

But then, there are some remarkably good feature-length cartoons out there too. I don't think I have a particular favorite, though.

4. To encourage, to facilitate, to share what I know, to continue to grow, and to know the signs of burnout. There is nothing here that is specific to that particular peerage, really.
