Working at a coffee shop. Just overheard someone describe the raspberry, vegan cake as “empowered.”
Oy.
Healthy addictions
Books on tape are addicting.
I just walked out to the garage to look for where my dad went, and I found him sitting in his car, in the dark, listening to the last few chapters of his book.

Focus group learning
Watched some focus groups with a set of dental school students the other day. All will one day be given their own drills and picks to keep their patients’ teeth healthy.
Apparently, one of the key things they’ve learned so far: Don’t ever be drilling in a patient’s mouth and say “Oops” out load.
Valuable advice.

Big Five Duty (Free)
Seems like the Johannesburg airport could have named their duty free shops after something that sounded a lot less like animal poop.

Tourist Quote
We’re on the last full day of our month-long adventure through London and South Africa. I should have done this tourist quote thing earlier, as we heard quite a few doozies.
Anyways, today’s quote comes from an Indian woman standing in front of a statue of Robert Broom, who discovered the skull of “Mrs. Ples,” a distant relative of humankind–one of the most important archeological discoveries in the history of the world.
Wife: Take a picture of me next to the statue.
Husband: Who’s that a statue of?
Wife: I don’t care who the statue is, just take the picture!

Debacles so far …
For the most part, Mike and I felt safe and secure in London. Sure there were a couple of near-misses with oncoming traffic and more than one instinctive clutch of my purse closer to my chest, but overall, nothing to fret over.
I guess our most significant close-call so far would be from a couple days ago when I picked up Mike’s passport off of the bedroom floor and casually tossed it over to him … just barely missing the open window leading to the city street three floors below. Oops.
