Hi! I was the kid in the grade 7 class who loved the Nelson Speller exercises that asked us to scan weekly list words for letter patterns, rhymes and suffixes. I was also the kid who devoured extra books provided by the librarian - King Solomon's Mines, Eagle of the Ninth, The Mouse That Roared... to supplement my daily lunchtime study of Radio Shack catalogues!

I'm no longer a card-carrying member of the Radio Shack Free Battery Club, but I still love playing with words. Here are a few of my projects that help me to stay creative while spreading the good words.
