I'm glad it was brought to my attention. I've added a wink to the original article to help clear things up on that point.

No. I mistakenly thought that would be seen as sarcasm, which was my intention. I got a giggle out of my wife with that line, for what it's worth.

De nada. Enjoy the sushi, sounds like a real TREAT.

Congratulations on your many accomplishments. I'm not sure I could quit soda either. Never say never, I guess. Sounds like you're doing pretty great!

To make amends, I will do the dishes tonight. I usually get shooed away when I try, but I'll let her know the internet insists. :)

It was meant as a joke! Sorry if it didn't come across that way. Sarcasm can be tricky to convey online. It made my wife laugh, but she knows me better than anyone.
