A Coffee Mug

One Christmas, several years ago, a girlfriend gave me a tall stainless steel thermal coffee mug—the kind you can sip from while driving to work. I have tried to drink my morning coffee from cups and other mugs since then. But the coffee tastes better and stays warmer in the mug she gave me.

We have not contacted each other in four years. I should send her an e-mail telling her what a great gift she had given me. I might also mention how I think of her fondly each morning while drinking my morning coffee. I probably won’t though. She was only was my girlfriend for a short time. And then there is that small matter of her not liking me very much when she said goodbye.
