Mike just found an old spool of dental floss in his car, leading it to resurface in our bathroom.
This isn’t just any dental floss however. According to the bold packaging label, this is “high tech” dental floss.
Does the audacity of this strike you?
I mean, we’re talking about a company that makes a glorified piece of string calling its product “high tech.”
Give me a break.
Turns out that knowing both the title and the author is important when purchasing books online.
Despite the fact that most kids learn this in second grade on their weekly library trip, my (almost-has-his-doctorate) husband just learned this the hard way.
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!
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.
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.
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.
