Just wanted to share about my time visiting with Vernon today.

I showed him a series of photos from last week where I attempted to capture Justine’s act of pretending to be Allison. I had taken a video, but once we had put her on camera, she had stopped the full-blown ‘pretending to be my Mom’ performance. You know how kids are. 😉 Anyhow, once I got to this picture, well, there was that smile from Vernon that’s been beginning to show up. Thanks Justine for the comedy!

ali-justineWhen I go to visit Vernon, I’m not one of those talented singers or guitarist types, but I do enjoy sharing and reading to him about what’s been happening in the design world. Today I read him a couple of typography articles recently posted on Fast Company and NPR…interesting stuff, actually. And hopefully he enjoyed hearing the latest…although some of this was probably old-hat to him.

What was unique about reading to Vernon today is when I got to a line that mentioned another font designer, I asked if he knew who that was. Looked up to the most definite nod. Well, that was new to me, and I was glad for the responses in interacting today.
