Happy 2025

2025… lovely, not the year itself, who knows about that, yet. The numbers 2 0 2 5, they work, not symmetrical, not perfect, no huge kerning issues, a nice start to a new year. This is how graphic designers see the world. 2021 was a lot of kerning, the number one needed to be movedContinue reading “Happy 2025”

Mashed Potatoes

There are few things in life better than homemade mashed potatoes. Leave a little skin on, boil with tons of fresh garlic, more than generous amounts of butter, salt, pepper, cream cheese, and half and half. Not too smooth, not too crunchy, make it just right…like baby bear’s bed. They are what dreams are madeContinue reading “Mashed Potatoes”

All of them moms of elementary and middle school peeps. They were together and they glowed. One of them has my sense of humor, her gloriousContinue reading “What Other People Think”

I Love Snow Days

I grew up in Queens back in the days where NYC public schools did not close for snow. We had a blizzard in 6th grade I think, it was 1978ish. Bussed in kids were stranded at the school for a while but they finally got on the busses to go home around midnight. Privileged kidsContinue reading “I Love Snow Days”

I got you…

Monday. My kids used to be extra squirrelly on Monday mornings, now it is my little guy who is a bit off. I try to be understanding, it doesn’t always work, Mondays are hard for me too. Oscar Monday mornings are especially difficult. I am usually in bed by 10pm, staying up after midnight isContinue reading “I got you…”
