On 10/19/18, I did two things: silently celebrate the 30th anniversary of getting my driver's license and loudly deliver a keynote at the Maryland Association of School Librarians (MASL) 2018 Conference. The former was a solo effort, the latter involved a banquet hall's worth of people.
Thank you again to Matthew Winner, April Wathen, and all else who made my participation possible.
And thank you to all who tweeted such kindness, such as these two:

Melissa Iwai, along with Minh Lê, Robbi Behr and Matthew Swanson,
Paula Chase-Hyman, and Liz Reed, moderated by the always
quick-witted Matthew Winner. Pictured above: Minh, Matthew,
Melissa, Marc (me). The Four Ms!

That crowd in the distance is the keynote audience.
A highlight among highlights

signing a copy of
one of my books
(The Chupacabra Ate the Candelabra,
which co-stars three goats)
to two goats.
