Rancho San Joaquin Middle School

June 10th, 2008

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Rancho San Joaquin — and I’m still full from the wonderful spread that Mrs. Mayfield provided for lunch (and nutrition).  Not only were the students so excited and asking great questions, but I got such lovely gifts as a thank you, including Weird California (to help me with settings for future novels) and a Dodgers book, complete with two of my favorite Dodgers pictured on the cover — Drysdale and Kofax.  Needless to say, I loved spending time with the charming Mrs. Mayfield and listening to her delightful southern accent.  I left with the warmest of feelings, so thanks to all parties involved.

Also, as a side note, there was an article in the OC Register about yours truly.  Keith Sharon was a fantastic interviewer.  Check it out if you’ve got some time to waste:

I’ve now got to focus on the Lakers game, so you’ll have to excuse me.  I’m worried we may get shut out.
