Karen is now all grown up and teaching at the University of Louisville and looks back fondly to her 10 years in track and field. In those days,  Karen  called me ‘Coach Dad” which was very sweet. While in Annenberg graduate school she finished her last year of eligibility as a Southern California Trojan and their record holder in the women’s shot put. She made the cup in cardinal not only because the Cardinal is the symbol of the University of Louisville… but because — to me — it represents my fondness for the Trojans.

Karen gave some special mugs to her professors at Tennessee to celebrate her Ph.D… and she wanted something for me ,too.  Thanks, Karen

what makes a perfect coffee cup?

I love coffee as does every member of my family except one. The coffee experience is augmented with great coffee like “Pele Plantation” from Kona or Dunkin Donut! However, the right vehicle to deliver the exquisite beverage is critical to the experience.

So, what is important to a great coffee mug? Well, an ‘ergonomic’ coffee cup is nice unless it comes with the typical think rim. I would say that a perfect coffee mug has the following characteristics:  it has to hold a lot, be comfortable holding it and I really don’t like tasting a lot of ceramic… a ‘thin lip’ is perfect!

Now, back for some more coffee!
