t’s not some cherished item with memories attached. I’m not even sure exactly how long I had it or where I bought it. It’s just a rather large mug with a black and white design. A Riviera Van Beers according to the writing on the bottom. Which seems to be A Thing. I’ve been drinking coffee from it in the morning for decades.
There are older mugs in the house, including one from boarding school, but that one’s cracked and can’t be filled with anything hot and is kept on a shelf and occasionally noticed and mused over. But it’s not used.
