OK – here I am again. After a few moments of weather here in LA I have to say, it’s kind of nice. Last Friday I played golf in the early morning and tennis as the sun was setting. Three days later there’s snow on the mountains and I was able to turn my sprinklers off. Now that it’s December Trader Joes is carrying Candy Cane Joe Joes. All is right with the universe.
Speaking of right with the universe:
Just over two years ago my wife and I remodeled our kitchen and went the high end appliance route. We ended up with a Miele dishwasher. It is most fancy! First off, it is built into our kitchen to be indistinguishable. It looks to be just another drawer or cabinet in our kitchen (if I knew that was the plan we could have gone for a cheapie model). For the amount of money we spent on it, I kind of want it to be the first thing our friends see when they walk into our house. Right there in the front foyer with a spot light on it. “Wow, I didn’t realize Steve and Ceinwyn had such a high end dishwasher”. Secondly, it its some cool cutlery rack on top. Who knew? Anyway, it started acting up about a year ago. Dishes were not getting clean and it was backing up every couple of months alerting us with a series of beeps that made the neighborhood dogs take notice. Unfortunately, I figured out how to take it apart and clean it out. This became a fairly regular event until two weeks ago I called a Miele repairman to come out to take a look. I was prepared for a huge and costly problem. But the guy told me that "hard water" is causing calcium deposits to accumulate in the filters and inner workings of the dishwasher. “Hard water?” I guess Glendale and many areas in LA have this hard water problem. He suggested a product called “Dishwasher Magic”. Really? This has got be a joke or a scam or something that won’t fix my dishwasher but will cost me a bunch of money. Well he supplied us with five bottles of this stuff at $19.00 a bottle. This shit is incredible! Our dishwasher now looks brand new and cleans the dishes! I am serious, it cleans the dirty dishes. The filters are clean, the drainage problem is gone and now the symbiosis between my wife, children and me is back.
Here is the kicker: With twenty five seconds of research I found Dishwasher Magic for $5.95 a bottle. I am buying a case and running one bottle through at the beginning of every month. This’ll be my new year’s resolution.
Off to my daughters winter musical and then to the Hotel Café with some friends to see Gary Jules play.
Some weather, good music and Dishwasher Magic… Life is good.
