Take Your Libby to Work Day!

But thanks to the "real world," we are not. Lindsay, like the elementary school students she teaches, is literally counting down the days until she is released from work. (If you'd like to send flowers to congratulate me on my salvation, the big day is June 6th.) To her delight, she was paid a recent visit by artist/photographer/fellow cyclist/Libby and her day of looking at garbage with little kids was made a little brighter:
