Today was my first school visit of the 2009-2010 academic year, aptly coinciding with the first day of fall.
But first, my GPS had some fun at my expense, which has been happening more and more lately:
Time I was scheduled to start speaking: 9:10 a.m.
Time I started driving: 7:20 a.m.
Time GPS said I'd arrive: 8:29 a.m.
Time I arrived: 9:04 a.m.
Number of wrong turns it sent me on: who knows/too many
Arriving with only six minutes to spare was later than I think I've ever been for a school visit...yet for the record, I was not late.
And in any event all was good when I saw the welcome:

While signing books after I spoke, a second grader gave me this charming drawing (her first comment refers to two drawings I had done during the presentation):


They were more focused on telling me what their dads wear to work.
A first: Early on, one called out "Are you real?" I said yes but he looked unconvinced. So I let him pinch my arm.
He was still unconvinced.
