What If D'Artagnan and Daniel Boone Had Mated?

Here's a pic of me in what is supposed to be a colonial frontier costume. Fifty three naugas had to die to make that coat. It was all part of F&M's celebration of Ben Franklin's 300th birthday, which was a day-long event on campus. I volunteered to marshall (hah!) 50 third and fourth graders around to six different sites around a miniature version of colonial Williamsburg. There were 2,300 kids on campus that day, so there were many logjams. But the kids had a great time (and nothing impresses an 8 year old more than gunpowder explosions).
