a few words about ligatures

In writing and typography, a ligature occurs where two or more letter-forms are joined as a single glyph. Ligatures usually replace consecutive characters sharing common components, and are part of a more general class of glyphs called “contextual forms” where the specific shape of a letter depends on context such as surrounding letters or proximity to the end of a line. from wikipedia

In other words, it is the orgasm of type. They make a girl happy while editing pages of techy-computerized nerd documents. Aren’t those forms sexy?

on holiday

parade
We have not been on a little trip, in forever. We travel for business pretty frequently, but those are not destressers. We went to my family property in Tabiona for the weekend. We didn’t have much planned except for the the few town events which included a little chuckwagon breakfast and a small parade. It was so nice to just get away and hang out.

jj and my brother went fly fishing on the reservoir. Aubrey and I paddled around in a canoe with Gentry and her two dogs. We stayed in a tent and Gentry slept really well. I am glad to be home and also to have had a few days away from the computer and phone.
