Day 286/20. An end of an era....

I am a little sad tonight.
This glass mug has been with me for many years. In perhaps 1996 I visited the small town of Grass Valley, in California to visit one of our associate companies, the Grass Valley Group. I was given this mug as a part of the visit.
It survived the flight home in my suitcase, it survived many, many beers and a few non-alcoholic drinks. It is, this year, perhaps 24 years old. Sadly it won't see 25 years. Last nights visit to the dishwasher produced this crack completely around it.
And just like that, my fabulous mug is no more.....
