Quotes from Mt. Hood
On the radios during yesterday's stage:
Lisa: Katie, you are ahead of Kat by 4 seconds, and the time bonuses at the finish are 15 seconds for first place, 10 seconds for second place, and 5 seconds for third, so if she wins the race and you come in second you will still be in the leader's jersey.
Me: Um, Lisa? I dunno about your math. If Kat wins and Katie is second, Kat is in the leader's jersey. This is Courtenay who is setting you straight btw. Do you copy?
Lisa: OK Courtenay a.k.a Albert Einstein, so I failed math...
********

Yours truly the Einsteinian smartypants being not so smart in the kitchen of our host house, with our host dad Paul and his 5 year old daughter Rosie:
Me: So this cupboard here is the super top-secret hiding spot for the chocolate, right?
Paul: Yeah, but it's kind of not so effectively secret anymore since Rosie is right here.
Me: Oh. Right. Sorry. That makes sense. I am not exactly kid-proofed. Should I put it somewhere else?

Whoops. Reminds me of the time I accidentally told my friend about the surprise birthday party we were throwing her...
