We had to perform surgery at the wood shop today.  I designed "SplasSh" in a way COOL, funky, 70’s font that leans.  I was worried about the "p" standing, and sure enough, you set it down & it "dives".  Now, although I thought a "diving p" was rather appropriate for "splash", I decided that you would want to actually have your "p" stand like the rest of the letters.  We glued a block to it, It didn’t work.  We cut off the bottom & it stood, but looked funny with the rest of the letters, so we added extra to the bottom & made it lean a little less … and it’s a miracle, it stands!  But, the first "p" has made it to wherever wood goes when it dies.  We tried!  But, there was just no saving it!
