What I Want

This is a tribute to one of the MacArthur Fellows, recipient of the "Genius Award."  His name is Matthew Carter and he created this typeface called Verdana.  How do you go about creating a typeface?  What an awesome job that would be.  Making up fonts all day long.  


A co-worker asked me today, "Where do you see yourself in five years?  What kind of job would be ideal?"  In other words, "What do you want?"  That is a difficult and complex question.  At 38, what I want is often what I can no longer have.  But as I sit here in my nicely air conditioned house, watching my kids read (my five year old is reading so well), typing on my very own Mac, my husband taking a short nap upstairs, I can only think, what I already have is enough for this girl.  Anything more is bonus.  


What I can really go for right at this moment is a nice latte...
