Young Linus was wise beyond his years. Whatever your leanings (on any of the three), I wish you a happy, healthy, and cozy autumn!

Columbia College Chicago—12 May 2012</b>
I’ve always been a word person—for pleasure and work. So, you can imagine how much I enjoyed checking out some cool printing presses and old type sets. These were a bonus after our personal viewing of friend Don’s MFA thesis exhibit [see: http://bit.ly/DonMFAThesisExhibit2012].](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photo-of-the-Week/2012-Photos-of-the-Week/i-bbfvSv2/1/d32bcdb6/Ti/2012%2005%2012%20type_120254-Ti.jpg)

Peppermint—26 April 2012</b>
If you follow my P365, you know that I’ve been on a perfect-whoopie-pie-recipe quest. This summer has been such a rush (and so hot), that I haven’t made any. I’ve reserved time on Sunday’s calendar to bake (hopefully wp’s <i>and</i> pineapple upside-down cupcakes) for NOS and his roommate.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Photo-of-the-Week/2012-Photos-of-the-Week/i-365t5Dz/1/8cf84e51/Ti/2012%2004%2026%20peppermint%20whoopie_6110-Ti.jpg)
