I measure my days not in coffee spoons but rather by Bodum double-wall glass mugs























This morning I had one of my periodic involuntary arm jerks and knocked a Bodum double-wall glass coffee mug off the table onto a tile floor, where it proceeded to make a wonderful crashing impact sound as the glass shattered followed by widespread fragmentation.

There's a reason why when I was a kid I loved throwing rocks through windows.

But I digress.

I never fail to be surprised by how far thin crystalline glass fragments scatter from the impact point after a 30-inch drop.

Gotta be triple-observant cleaning up because of my kitty!

Up top you will see my purchase history for these nonpareil mugs over the past 8+ years: note how the interval between incidents is now measured in months rather than years as was the case before.

I just reordered, so apparently I don't feel it's time [yet?] to abandon glass in favor of unbreakable Snow Peak double-walled titanium mugs, my long-time backup.

Not yet — but not never!

You can too!

Two for $24.99.
