simple … kerning

It seems truly ridiculous to care or even notice the amount of space between letters of any given word in any printed headline or text presentation.

simple… marry or not?

After reading a piece in the annual “wedding issue” of the news, I got to thinking about why people marry… and why they are together but do not marry. I have no real answers just more questions. So, a couple can have all the love and life-long commitment, the shared household, children and still not […]
