I hope you like it.

Writing a book while raising three kids and building a house is one thing. I can do that. But writing it with wooden Ticonderoga soft lead pencils? Andre, you da man!

Thanks for the clip Bob. It reinforces what I am coming to believe: A story starts with an image. The book is now on my list.
