Inventory complete!

I have just finished a complete inventory of my coffee cup collection. Turns out, it is not as impressive as I once thought. Once the duplicates, the blanks, the banal and the memory-less cups are weeded out, I have only 136 left. Goodwill is getting a generous donation of totally worthless coffee mugs. (I suppose you could drink coffee out of them, but why?)

This cup has been waiting for the damned cup fairy since 1995.


In 1994, Wayno and I flew to Boston, rented a car and drove to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island and back, using different routes. (Yes, this is the same trip that brought us Eastport and Maine.) We both fell in love with Charlottetown and PEI as a whole. We stayed at a Best Western close into town, and Charlottetown is small enough, we hoofed everywhere instead of driving. People were so friendly and down to earth. And I recall having a good dinner.

And more important; there was a mirror in our room at the Best Western, that, well what can I say. I’ve never looked that good before and will never look that good again. At that time, at that moment, I was at my apex. I spent the best day of my life on Prince Edward Island. I miss that fleeting moment.


But the mug is trash.

I will return to Charlottetown to get another mug.

Wow, it’s almost like I’m starting a bucket list!
