I’ve been collecting mugs, off and on, since my teen years. It’s a good souvenir to pick up in gift shops while on vacation. Plus, it’s a subtle way to show off your interests and hobbies to co-workers. “Oh, I notice you’re staring at the mug that I’m waving around in front of my face. Why, yes, I got it at the Justin Bieber concert. Let me tell you all about it while I sip my lovely beverage.” I like to fill my mug with tea or hot cocoa on cold, shivering nights. This past winter was a long one, giving me a lot of time to sit and contemplate my mug collection/ Idaho Dad , A Family Runs Through It. More here. (SR file photo for illustrative purposes)
