Nice photo Credit–and blog post. By the way, I shared your Daily dumb sketch link with my son at Gustavus He thought it was a great idea. So did I. He is going to try it–though not daily. School work comes first! Hope all is well.

Bill–Thanks for the comment. Those few photos of you when we had lunch keep popping up on my blog. I like that part of Minneapolis. I’m glad your son is interested in sketching. There’s quite a strong, supportive bunch of people trying to do it–all across the globe.
