Happy weekend! I read each and every one of your comments on this week’s essay on sameness in design, and I really value your wisdom and observations. Thank you. I’m leaving once more on a trip, but this time it’s all about the family. I’ll be in Twin Falls and Boise, Idaho, for Matt’s family reunion. A barbecue and fireworks are part of his cousins’ traditional Fourth of July celebration. What the Fourth of July is all about.:)
