HANDLE - Challenge

~ that's him in the picture ~

I took the shot with the mug sitting on our front gate post. Its a mug our son brought home with him when he finished a post-grad at Stanford, San Francisco back in the 90's. He lives in San Francisco now - and we must have ESP, I'd no sooner taken the photo than he phoned! I've no idea where this mug with photo came from apart than it came from him, its very special. We don't actually USE it, it stands in a display cabinet where we can see it everyday!

That seems to work better than a satellite phone.
Anytime you want to hear from your son... photograph this mug.
