Looks good! Two quick things:

  • On line 8, you'll want quotes around the image URL, and a / at the end of the img tag (because imgs are "self-closing" tags). As you've probably seen, most browsers will render the image fine without these things, but it's generally best to stick to standard to maximize browser compatibility. So the line would look like this: <img src="http://mermoose.com/mermoose_medium.png" />
  • HTML is really wonky with regard to whitespace, so just to be safe, the title tag shouldn't have the spaces before I and after Mermoose: <title>I am the Mermoose</title>

Otherwise, off to a great start! Good use of <em> and <strong> instead of <i> and <b>. For a bonus point, can you explain to the group (in a comment here, or on Sunday) why em and strong are now preferred?
