Tuesday Photo Quiz

This will be similar to the photo quizzes we’ve done here before. Each Tuesday, I’ll post one mystery photo. Comment with your guess as to what it is, and on Friday I’ll comment with the answer!

Mint Mocha Monday

In accordance with my new plan (see previous post), I’m making the first Mint Mocha Monday post.
When I worked downtown, there were days when everything seemed to combine to make things miserable: bad weather, slow T, irritable customers, etc. Occasionally, when the day was bad enough, I’d go to Starbucks during my lunchbreak and [...]
