Two Noras and a Mic
We're not Numbers Noras, but We'll Fill Your Conversational Space
Numbers surround us, shape our memories, and often reveal our deepest connections—even for those who proudly claim to be "not Numbers Noras."
We dive into a whirlwind of topics ranging from bizarre food trends (hot dog towers, anyone?) to the safe return of astronauts Butch and Suni after their extended 286-day space adventure. Their remarkable journey, especially impressive considering they're 62 and 59 years old, leaves us contemplating what's still possible in our own futures.
Our conversation takes an unexpectedly nostalgic turn when we explore our relationships with numbers—from lucky digits (3 and 7) to childhood phone numbers we can still recite decades later. Though we both admit to counting on our fingers and avoiding restaurant bill-splitting responsibilities, we discover how numbers create meaningful touchpoints throughout our lives. Reminiscing about area codes that connect us to past homes and debating the merits of teaching math through regrouping versus borrowing, we reflect on how even math-anxious individuals find comfort in numerical patterns.
As self-proclaimed "space fillers", we recognize our natural tendency to keep conversations flowing—the perfect counterbalance to our mathematical limitations. Whether helping children with crafty math projects or appreciating when someone reframes a challenging day of endless driving as an accomplishment, we find joy in these small numerical victories.
Listen in as we celebrate the structure numbers provide while embracing our word-loving, story-telling strengths. After all, isn't life richer when we appreciate both the numbers and the narratives that connect us?
