Remember When?

I was a graphic designer for 25 years, starting in 1988 — before computers, before Adobe. These (plus Letramax board, a drafting table, and #11X-acto blades) were my life. Anyone else recognize these blasts from the past? • • •

Coffee Anyone?

1) Filled the coffee maker with water. 2) Added filter and coffee. 3) Forgot I’d already done step 1, so I repeated. 4) Coffee maker cannot hold 24 cups of water, so needed a bath towel in a hurry. 5) Good morning. 🙄
