this morning, well, first off, can I tell you about a cup that I love? It's one that I made. I mean, I

know I love lots of people's work, but there's this a cup that I love? It's one that I made. I mean, I know I love lots of people's work.

But there's this one cup that I love because I called it my ironic cup.

It was a cup that was round on the bottom, but it was square on top.

And I had a, I had done a monoprint on it with, um, with a to go cup and a lid and all that

on the face of it and the back of it.

And I, I call it my ironic cup because it was a to go cup on a to stay cup.

And I, I just love that cup. I had even been putting into the dishwasher

one time and I dropped it and it just made a little chip in the bottom of the cup. Like a little

chip and I thought, oh, there's the end of that cup. But no, I said, I'm keeping the cup. I kind of

like it. It like adds to the character. Well, this morning,

I was getting ready to head out to do some work, and I have this van that I was about to climb into

and drive off to get some work done today, and I put my cup on the bumper because I said, I got to go grab my

phone from inside the house. And so I put my cup on the bumper. And I said, why are you doing that to

myself? Why are you doing this? You're going to forget it there. And I thought, no, who's going to

forget the cup right there? And I got to go in grab it? Of course I'm not going to forget it.

I know you already know the end of this story.

I did forget it.

I didn't remember my cup until I got to where I was going and I climbed out of my car.
