Today I Messed Up By Incorrectly Guessing A Cute Girl's Age

The Story

The new City Creek Harmons grocery store, located in downtown SLC, just open on Wednesday (February 15th, 2012).  It marks the first business in the new City Creek Mall to open.  And let me tell you, it was well received!

I popped in during my lunch hour to look around.  Apparently 1000 other people were thinking the same thing.   Professionally groomed Managers were standing at the end of every aisle.  I was invited upstairs to walk through their cooking school.

The kitchen was stocked with all state of the art equipment and fresh horderves were spread throughout the room encouraging a continual flow.

As I was eating a meatball, I noticed a young lady—well-dressed, about my age—scurrying around the dining area with a clipboard.  I approached her and before I knew it, she was writing down her digits down for me.

I think I found her online

As smoothly as things had gone thus far, I ventured an additional compliment.  "Aren't you a too young to be a cooking school director?" I flirted.  She giggled and retorted, "how old do you think I am?"

…this is the point at which I lost my game.

Still taken back by how beautiful she was to me, I failed to process her question logically.  What I thought she was asking was, "how old do you think a cooking school director ought to be?"

"30, maybe?"

Kristen stopped writing and looked up.  "Did you say, '30?'" [Your server connection is lost] "I'm only 25, but most people say I look 16."

I was dumbfounded.  "Yeah.  I can see that" I backpeddled.  "Welp, thank you for this [referring to her telephone number].  See you later."

Note to self: If I am forced to respond to a question like that again, ridiculously underestimate.

Conclusion

At that moment, to put it lightly, I don't think she would have been heartbroken if I never call her. But I probably I will anyway, just as soon as my bruised and inflamed ego recovers.

    Did you ever call Kristin? I was sad not to see a view of her on this clip at Harmon's. What did you say to her to get her number so quickly?

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
