How cool is this!? I hope to have a daughter someday, and I will teach her to play baseball just to see her make a catch like this.
Ooh — another new favorite. And I am generally not a bold fan, but Summerour has done a fine job with this one. Epic goes on my long list of things to buy when I have more money.
Neighborly
Early this evening Meagan, Asher and I went downstairs to meet our neighbor. We have been here since the end of March and, though we have spoken with him briefly in coming and going, this is the first time we have made a formal visit. He is a kind man, in his seventies, and a retired professor of interior design (his apartment looks fantastic).
In our chatting we learned that in his seven years in this complex we are the first people to ever stop by and introduce ourselves. That is amazing to me. Where I come from, in Idaho, that just wouldn’t happen.
It is just a different culture. The people of Kansas are friendly, kind people but I guess “just stopping by” to see new neighbors isn’t what they do here. That is fine, but it is foreign to me.
This is a happy day. In St. Paul, Minnesota, Barack Obama speaks after securing the Democratic nomination.
Fail spectacularly whenever possible.

Storms in the Midwest
As a newcomer to the Midwest, I find the storms fascinating. Whereby “fascinating” I mean “cool but somewhat frightening.” This is the first storm that has come through since we moved here.
And I have never heard of “storm spotters” — what a cool job!
Came across this in Smashing Magazine’s 60 Brilliant Typefaces For Corporate Design. Methinks it is gorgeous.
