Product Testing Yet Again

Alright, for those of you who forgot, Connie and I (more like just me) enjoy testing name brand versus generic. Anyways, the results are in on --- "Spaghetti." Null hypothesis: There is a big difference between name brand and generic spaghetti. After thorough tasting it was decided that there was not a statistically significant difference and therefore we must reject the null hypothesis. But, with Easter approaching we thought it would be a nice time to insert our findings on EGGS. We've tested five different types of eggs and found the overall satisfaction listed here from best to worst: 1. Brown Land-o-Lakes Eggs, 2. Cage-free Land-o-lakes, 3. Generic Brown Eggs, 4. Egglands Best, 5. Generic white eggs. These results were significant. Enough to where we now keep our fridge fully stocked with one carton of brown eggs for eating, and one carton of generic whites for baking. I haven't had a better home cooked over-medium egg than the Brown L.O.L. brand. Side note, Connie loves her heat/cold mask Annette and Preston sent. She also thinks it's cool that she can look into the small blue beads and claims to see microscopic organisms. I'm not convinced, but I guess it's possible. Take home message: Don't waste your money on branded pasta, splurge a bit on brown eggs, and for those rough days pamper yourself with a therapeutic mask.

President Sugiyama

Well it's officially official. I am officially the president of Cedar Mountain Family Dentistry P.C., with my lovely wife Connie as corporate secretary. I'd like to thank everyone who helped out in this endeavor. As far as the business name contest, I suppose I am the offical winner since I came up with the name, but I must note that Connie's sister Terra was the one responsible for suggesting a "scenic" name. Here a couple pictures of the building our office is in, as well as a picture of me and Dr. Cornish. I'm excited to get going and have a fantastic team behind me. Once I get our website up and running you'll be able to see the lovely ladies I get to work with. Of course anyone who wants to vacation in Denver and get their teeth cleaned for free can now visit.

ANIMAL!

Listen up ya'll. I know that it doesn't need to be said, but last weekend confirmed it....WE HAVE THE COOLEST DAD EVER! Preston recruited dad for a little dodgeball tournament held in battle creek as a fundraiser for a local boy scout troop. As you can imagine dad basically TORE IT UP and was declared the unofficial MVP.

A little pregame stretch.

The MASTER at catching (just look at the awe on his teammates faces).

The last face people saw before they left the court.

CATLIKE reflexes!

INTENSE (aka openmouth) concentration (I have about 10 pictures of this exact face).

The catch people just can't stop talking about.




Pretty sure dad's target just left the court to change his pants :)


Literally it was the highlight of my month. Our dad was SO FREAKING AWESOME!! I found myself yelling, on multiple occasions, "that's MY dad!" He saved his team SEVERAL times by catching a ball when he was the last person on the court which brought a teammate back in. I could hear teams strategizing on how to get him out and do it quick. Unfortunately (for them) they could not contain the ASIAN WONDER! Preston's team took first place in the adult category and Preston basically credits that entirely to OUR DAD!
