Well, well, well.  Lufkin Road was a well-titled school to end my spring/summer school tour on.  First of all, Lufkin Road was the most unusual-looking school I’ve visited.  It used to be an office building that has now been converted into a school.  The principal, assistant principal and media specialist Diane Ruby were all so so nice (and well-organized).  I could not have left North Carolina (or this leg of my tour) with any warmer of a feeling in the pit of my stomach.  Travis, Ricky and Jamie were great sports.  As was the entire audience for my three talks, who were sitting calmly on the cafeteria floor.  I don’t know about you, but when I’m sitting on a hard surface for more than ten minutes, one of my feet or legs usually falls asleep.  

Anyhow, so I’m done for now visiting schools (as most schools are done for the summer).  It’s been great in so many ways, it would be impossible to list them all here.  Besides, I’m not sure anyone would want to read them.  But DO look for more blogs about writing and everything else I can think of.  If you have any ideas as to what I should blog about, please let me know!  And now, for some FINAL TOTALS for my school tour:

Number of Students I Chatted With: 25,685 (wow, that’s like a small city)

Number of Appearances:  146 (I think I’m pretty sure I have most of what I say memorized now)

Number of Cities:  33 (a good odd number)

Number of States: 5 (but don’t ask me
