Morphological Adaptation.

A couple weeks ago I flew to Omaha for the second speaker in our da_OMA speaker series. Thom Mayne came to Omaha for a 1.5 hour presentation and a fabulously fun and expensive dinner. It was one of those nights I'll never forget - sitting at V.Mertz in the Old Market Passageway across the table from a rather interesting architect while eating wonderful Omaha steak talking about New York City, his project there that I had the pleasure of briefly working on, our mutual acquaintances in Vancouver, and various other topics. At moments of pause, I reveled in the marvelousness of this situation. What a perfect moment of Midpoint perspective - one that I don't have to work hard to analyze, but rather just enjoy.

A few days after this encounter, I received a curious clear envelope in the mail at work. Thom sent me the following letter, which took a team of my coworkers to interpret.



























"Anne. I enjoy surprise encounters...Nebraska no less...hope to see you
@ the site one of these days. Thom"
