School-marm

Monday was also Family Day at the Pony Express Museum, and free admission to the "Pony School" for a 30-minute class session with yours truly. Being the schoolmarm is a lot like what I do every day. But it took a while to get used to the long skirt when navigating the teacher's platform, and the lack of a wrist watch was not easily replaced by looking at my watch chain. "Can you tell me how many rods make a furlong? What is a word that rhymes with weather? and what is the capital of the first 33 states?"
