Sympatico

On Friday mornings Daniel and I have a standing playdate with Elijah and his mom Sarah. We met at a playground last fall and within about 5 minutes of conversation became instant friends. Our little boys are less than two weeks apart in age, and they're similar physical types (chunky, with heads like little bowling balls). Together, adorable.

Here are just a few of the highlights of our conversation this Friday:

We pored over a photo of the inside of her church. Earnestly, and in great detail, we discussed its design flaws (rose window clashing with alleluia tapestry; placement of cross interrupting visual flow; another design element that resembled an upside-down cross; etc.).

Marketing ideas for my business.

Typography: the world's most conservative art form.

The sublime beauty of classical Greek architecture. Order = beauty.



What we didn't talk about: parenting.
