Thanks to Sunrise and Horizon Middle Schools!

3/1/2011

I want to thank Horizon and Sunrise Middle Schools in Kearney, Nebraska for hosting me last week.  The kids were a great audience.  And the teachers were, too, except that they didn't seem to appreciate the part where I handed out steak knives to all the kids. (Just kidding, the teachers thought that part was pretty cool, too.)  So thanks again, I had a lot of fun!

Here's a few pictures of me speaking at Horizon Middle School.
