Today I celebrate all things red!
Perhaps it started with my choice of mug for my morning cafe'-
black and white line drawings of Winnie the Pooh characters,
with the inside of the mug a bright true red!
Perhaps it was the water cup that I picked for today -
a black commuter cup with the red symbol of Lucent Technologies.
Perhaps I am inspired by the red 'Batman' phone that Michael keeps on the desk, covered with a glass dome, just like Commissioner Gordon has.

"Seeing red" is American slang for 'being really mad or angry'.
