Here they are, making their best silly faces.
The worst part of my day occurred while I was trying to write at a local library, surrounded by fabulous children's books.

Uh-oh!
Sheesh! Some daze, er, days are like that, aren't they?

It began at our local middle school. I had the great pleasure of listening to fantastic YA author, Chris Crutcher, speak to a few hundred eighth graders. That man can tell a story!
