Ending Where I Started

Alton, New Hampshire.

I've spent the last two days in New Hampshire--including my final bookstore signing today for Touch Blue.  Sally, the CRM at the Newington Barnes and Noble, is such a great person to do events with. I did my first Hot Rod Hamster signing at her store and my final one for Touch Blue.

"I've begun and ended with you and your store!" I told her. 

  It's Educators' Week, and Sally arranged with the State of New Hampshire that she could offer two hours of professional development credits to any teacher who came to my talk today. I had a full room, and it touched me how many teachers and librarians came that I had done events with.  One principal even came from a Massachusetts school that I'm visiting in November.  It was a lovely event!  

After my talk, I showed everyone how to band lobsters. Lots of kids and teachers tried it.  

Here is a photo of my favorite future lobsterman and his dad. . . .
