Henry, Henry's Blend, Yin & Yang
Thom scanned the negative for a shot of Henry and Herman, two red tabbys who lived with my parent's, earlier today. I call the photograph Yin Yang.
We ran out of coffee, which I usually get fresh ground at a Starbucks near work in Manhattan, so Thom stopped at the A&P on the way back from playing racquetball to pick some other brand for the morning cup. As he scanned the many choices, a few bags of Seattle's Best, a brand he'd heard about but never tried, caught his eye. How could he avoid buying Henry's Blend, which comes with a picture of a red tabby — a "big friendly cat that once lived at the original Seattle's Best Coffee roasting plant on Vashon Island," according to the promotional copy on the bag.
I think Carl Jung had something to say about synchronicity that would be appropriate here, but it's late and I'm too tired to look it up. Maybe I will after I have some of that coffee tomorrow.
