dive into mark

I found this example of Papyrus on my doorstep last night © Sarah Marriage / CC

The wife and the first born are in New York City for the long weekend, except the second born pronounces it “New Orc City,” which sounds much more interesting if you ask me. This is not the first time Ethan has traveled, but it’s the first time that he and his brother have been separated for more than 8 hours. It has also given them their first opportunity to talk to each other on the telephone, long distance. I assume it won’t be the last.

Wesley and I have been having a wonderful time doing all manner of things without, you know, competition. Watching his favorite movies, wading in the Eno River, and spotting butterflies at the Museum of Life and Science. No pics, sorry (the wife has the camera in New Orc City), but here’s some pictures from our trip 2 years ago: a butterfly, a sheep, and a pot-bellied pig. I swear the pig hasn’t moved in 2 years.

On a coming-full-circle kind of note, the Festival of the Eno uses Papyrus in their video materials. We saw it on the shuttle bus on the way back to the parking lot. My mother was sitting next to me, and I got all excited and poked her and pointed to the screen above us and said, “Hey, I know that font! Everybody hates that font!” Who says designers are useless?
