Observations rearing teenage boys:
- More cologne plumes than a Macy’s department store.
- All lamps look like they are headed for the ICU.
- More hair products than a salon.
- “Bro!” is an appropriate response to any question.
- Daily delivery of Dominos.
- Piles of clothes are more efficient than dressers.
- E-bikes are motorcycles for children (please pray).
- 30 min showers?
- The sporting goods budget rivals our mortgage.
- Practice fighting is a form of affection.
I’m loving every minute of it, knowing these days are numbered.
Gratefully,
Spence
(July 2026)
One day back in 2022, Spencer said in a staff meeting, “I want to think of a way to make billing a little nicer for our clients. Nobody likes to open a bill, especially for architectural services.” And thus, Spencerisms were born. That’s an internal name we initially gave these short notes Spencer writes to our clients each month, if they receive a bill. The name stuck, only because we couldn’t think of anything else that fit. We hope you’ll enjoy these bits of encouragement (or simple thoughts) Spencer shares each month.
