(Every time I blink it seems there's another one out :D) And I do so love your squash punctuation. So many of those poems from Fresh.

Though one has to watch out for the button squash, as they may roll away with a period or too… I'm looking forward to reading "A Bunch of Punctuation." I love all those commas in the poem–and Lee's lively comment.

And, there are folks that are passionate about it that I'm always nervous will embarrass me! Fortunately, I work with middle grade people and I've done a lot of learning right along side them.
