Would you rather be the coffee spoon of the coffee mug? The metal of the spoon takes on the temperature of the heat for those few brief seconds that it makes contact. I think I would rather be the mug, a ceramic one. I like the responsibility of holding that hot liquid in a familiar… Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share

As I wonder the airport slowly with a warm cardboard cup of coffee gripped between my hand I sip slow and watch other travelers moving around.
