That's
my MO
Not any more insane than getting on a plane
for the very first time to meet people you've been talking online with for just over 2 years (at that point). First time east of Reno, and the meet was in Lancaster, Pennsylvania late July/early August. Bit of a system shock, though I was assured that 'twas drier than normal, because of a drought (summer of '03). It was 101 when we were at Hershey Park! The teens didn't get that, while I was used to heat (flew in from Sacramento, had lived in Redding a couple of years before--Redding reaches 113 for a couple of days during the summer) I'd never dealt with humid! Of course, I'm realizing now that I had dealt with humid, as it's regularly over lockdown humidity around here, but the temp rarely reaches 70...
Try realizing you're the oldest person in the classroom (the teacher's 5 years younger than I am, and the other aide in there in the afternoon is half my age)
