Black Cup of Coffee

Haven't had a movie quote in awhile. To make up for it, how 'bout a whole scene from the classic Airplan!

"Excuse me, I happened to be passing, and I thought you might like some coffee." -Young Boy with Coffee. "Oh, that's very nice of you, thank you. Oh, won't you sit down?" -Little Girl. "Cream?" - Little Boy with Coffee. "No, thank you, I take it black, like my men." - Little Girl. 

Coffee with Cream

I like to think I am not a coffee snob, but really, some people do really have coffee with his or her cream and/or sugar. In reality, I only started drinking black coffee because I could never get the cream and/or sugar ratio correct. So I said "screw it." The time, cost, and health benefits are obviously other factors. Then there is the pride in being a black coffee drinker, and telling that barista, waiter, or flight attendant that "hell no, I don' need no cream or sugar!" (double negative duly noted)  

Telephoto Lens Coffee Mug

I like taking this coffee mug places because I like attention. Too bad it is not an attention grabber in most cases. It is really inconvenient to use as well because you have to unscrew the lid, i.e., no drink hole. I wish people would appreciate the lengths I go to impress them. Nevertheless, the real reason I posted this picture is to tell the story of almost losing my phone, which is cleverly disguised as being hooked up to the telephoto lens coffee mug. Anyhow, phone battery was almost dead, so put in airplane mode. Get home with friend from event, get out of car, we grab our tuxedo jackets, friend drives away in his car, I go into house and have panic attack because I can't find phone in tuxedo jacket pocket and believe I left it at hotel. Call hotel, they are very helpful, looking where I am convinced I left it.  They can't find it. I try to use the lojack program I have on phone to trace where it is and wipe data. Can't do it since phone is airplane mode.I change every password I have on God's green earth, twice. Don't sleep well. Wake up in middle of night and realize that spouse may have been correct, about friend and I switching jackets. Look at jacket. It is not my jacket. Phone could be in other jacket. Phone is in other jacket as friend tells me next day. Phew. Will take more precautions and not use airplane mode while outta the house. Wrote letter to hotel thanking them for effort, using typewriter. All's well that ends well.
