NewMexiKen was pleased to see he’s not alone in finding the world too complex. In a Christmas letter a colleague wrote:
Sometimes the routine can be confusing. One morning last month, Lauren was juggling kids, the cordless portable phone, and her Starbucks coffee (carefully bought the day before and refrigerated). She punched 30 seconds into the microwave to warm the coffee, started to glance at the paper, saw her coffee on the counter, and became the first in our family to smell microwaved phone. Which leads to the question—what was more expensive, frying the portable phone, or the week’s previous purchases at Fourbucks?
