d.d. would be downdate, getting tired of typing that out. plus d.d. looks vaguely like a time line designation, b.c.-esque, and coffee is like a religion.

as i worked on this photo, something reminded me of this kid i had a crush on in high school, a footballer naturally. i’m tempted to say there must have been a swimsuit portion of football tryouts, but that was patently not true. there were some real dogs on our team too.

there is a quality here that silently whispered “number fifty eight” to me. i’m a little under the weather which tends to make me nostalgic. or it reminds me of that crushed solo cup i saw him drink from after one practice and surreptitiously spirited away to my collections.

kidding! gosh – i never picked up anyone’s crushed solo cup or gently pressed my lips to it’s crumpled edge or dna tested it for genetic compatibility. we didn’t have that kind of technology at our school.

ran into office to get some loose ends tied up and brought my coffee from home. someone out there sure gives me nice coffee presents (jean!).

have a lazy day and another cup of joe!

tipsy morning coffee

March 20, 2008

everything came together flawlessly for this morning’s shots and foaming. maybe the machine picked up on my happier attitude, i don’t know. but the results are delicious. it did occur to me, in a passing fashion, that a vodka tonic would taste every bit as good, but i think i’m driving later…
