Hi, Mark
I visited your website - thanks for the link. I'm ordering the original "Dog ate my lesson plans" tote bag (and maybe a few as Christmas gifts!) I also loved your spin on NCLB. Your work is fabulous!

Mark,
Did you design the bookworm I use for my profile image? That is so cool! I love the image - it's so colorful and full of personality!

habits", though I was born and raised
in Kingsville, Texas "land of the really
flat dirt". You do good work.
Best, Joe Messerli
