So, um, hi.  There’s really no excuse for me not posting for the last week and a half or so.  Sometimes I just go into blogging funks.  But I’m feeling absolutely blogtastic today, so here I am.

Anyway, I finished up Atlanta in grand style.  I was at Dodgen Middle School, where Sue Klodnicki’s enthusiasm was only matched by her sense of humor.  In fact, I have a picture of her.  Are you ready?  

OMG.  Another sideways picture.  I know that you were beginning to miss them, weren’t you?  Right?  Anyway, That’s Media Specialist Sue Klodncki.  And that the cool mural in her library.  If she looks like she’s hilarious, it’s because she is!

I finished up the week at Autrey Middle School with Laura Hunter.  Autrey presented a special problem for me because it was Spirit Say.  Which sounded like a lot of fun (honestly, there were teachers running through the hallways with fairy wings and bug-eye masks on — we should all be so lucky to go to a school like that).  The problem came during my standard Q & A session.  My usual tools to signal to someone that I was calling on them didn’t work.  

“You in the red,” I’d say, calling on someone in a red shirt.  And then forty kids in red shirts would point to themselves because part of Spirit Day entailed wearing the same color.  Whoops.  

Anyway, I saw my first scorpion while running in a park near where I was staying.  It was kind of large and kind of scary.  I ran in the opposite direction, of course.  So my Flight or Fight instincts are totally intact.  But now I can check scorpions off my list of poisonous creatures left to see.  Which is something.  

On to THE ALAMO!
