Hiding in plain sight is a large segment of the super-secret spy training. My friend Bubba mastered this art early in his career. He chose a high school in San Jose, CA. Bubba became a model student, often the first one to school, waiting for staff and students to arrive. He would sit quietly in the back of classrooms, wandering in and out, and would spend many hours in the stacks of the library eavesdropping as well as reading a great deal. Bubba monitored the athletes on the sports fields and memorized their play books. Soon, the high school students gave him his own school id card and wrote about him in the school’s newspaper. Bubba is now retired from spying and was recently nominated to the Super-Secret Spy Hall of Fame for his work. Even retired spies don’t like having their picture taken, though I will tell you he is also an orange and white cat. Purrs, Gulliver
