Anybody out there have tips on how to convince your husband to go to an opera?
Negotiations
Worst powder day ever!
So the other day, in response to the weatherman’s (pathetic) attempt at snowfall prediction, Mike, another friend, and I headed up to Rocky Mountain National Park to do a bit of backcountry skiing.
The park had easily gotten two feet of fresh snow. Perfect skiing conditions!
Unfortunately, none of the roads had been plowed for us to get to any skiing.
After skinning along a road for three hours for a measly 50 feet of vertical drop, Mike officially declared the ski adventure the worst powder day ever!

Boulder’s projected snowfall
Mike was ticked at NPR the other morning because of the lack of information they offered regarding our projected snowfall.
We heard the announcer say, “A wide variety of snowfall totals possible today along the Front Range.”
“Come on!” Mike said. “Couldn’t they give us some more details? How about, ‘We’re expecting a mean of six inches.’ Or ‘We’re looking at a standard deviation of 10 inches.’ That would be a lot more helpful!”
Yep he’s pretty smart. Nerdy of course, but very smart.

Church hymns
Yesterday, about 15 minutes before heading into church, Mike got ACDC’s “Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap” song stuck in my head.
Most of the time Mike is a great influence. Most of the time.

Mystery solved
My husband was perplexed the other day when he found mouse droppings in our house.
I was far less perplexed after noticing a significant collection of Cheese Nip crumbs scattered under the kitchen table.

Mold vs. man
My husband likes to tell me that “he’s all that’s man.”
He gives me reason to doubt, however, when I ask him why he hates using rinsed-out yogurt containers as Tupperware and he responds that it’s because he can’t see through the plastic and he’s afraid of opening it up and finding mold.
