    Ok. I laughed and laughed at this one. I've been there so many--oh alright, I go there almost every day. Love it.

    Linda, I read your comment over at visionandverb today and I had an idea ... it might be a huge undertaking, but could you scan the letters that mean a lot? Then you could have them with you on disk and maybe have a book printed with the really special images?

    As a former teacher, I empathize.

    Lovely metaphorical poem.
