Mary Poppins & Smith

So I am a serious lover of random facts and I want to share today's random fact with everyone. Today I was delighted to learn that the woman who wrote the Mary Poppins books, P.L. Travers, was once, among her many other jobs, a writer in residence at Smith College. For more on the life of P.L. Travers see this interesting CNN story.

As a total aside, for other random fact junkies I would highly reccomend the magazine Mental Floss. I just discovered it and it is now one of my most favorite things.
