Deja que este sencillo

(By the by, there should be an accent on the second e in este. Just so you know...)

Literally translated it means, “Let it be simple.”

Loosely translated (very loosely) it means, “Keep it simple, Stupid.”

Today Laura and I were watching “Deal or No Deal” on NBC and there was this commercial that came on. You may have seen it. There is a mid to late teenage boy with a blindfold and a Rubik’s cube and he solves the thing blindfolded. Now, I was trying to think of how they might have done the commercial because I am a little skeptical that he actually solved it blindfolded. So I was thinking of all the different ways in which one could digitally play with the video. Digital overlaying a different cube, just using an all blue cube and digitally coloring one square at a time, or some other technical and difficult method.

Remember, I was having this debate mentally. I had not said a thing except that I could not believe that he had actually done it blindfolded.

Laura said, “Maybe they taped it backwards.”

...

Boy did I feel silly/stupid.

Have I said today how much I love my wife? Well, yes. Just not here.

Laura, I love you.
