Proof men do not pay attention to what we are wearing!

By John Sharify
The Red Cross honored two men who rescued a skier out of a life-or-death emergency. AfterJohn McCartney and Steve Swanson saved the skier, they found out she was McCartney's wife, Laurie.

McCartney visited Crystal Mountain with his wife Laurie following five new inches of snowfall.

He was a few minutes behind his wife on his way down when something caught his eye.

"I saw these wiggly skis and I thought where did that person come from," he said.

What he saw was a skier stuck upside down in a tree well, or a pocket of air created around the base of at tree in deep snow.

McCartney knew he needed to pulled out right away. He knew It was a matter of life and death, but he also knew he couldn't do it by himself. He reached out to a complete stranger. "I yelled 'I need your help now' and he came flying up," he said.

That man was Steve Swanson, and together he and McCartney wasted no time.

"We had to physically pull her out. We each grabbed a leg," Swanson said.

"'One, two, three, heave ho' kind of thing," McCartney added.

They pulled out the skier and to his surprise McCartney found out that the skier he had saved was his own wife, Laurie.

"it hit me when I saw her face when we pulled her out," he said.

"They are heroes in my eyes, definitely," Laurie McCartney said. "They knew what to do and they did it."

The American Red Cross recognized the two men along with 11 others at the 2006 Red Cross Heroes Breakfast on Thursday.

Each of the men and women helped saves lives or made their communities a better place.

Stupid Man.

What was he thinking . . . concentrating on saving a person's life rather than trying to remember what color of ski pants his wife was wearing that day.

One more nail in the coffin that is man.

Good job, Sparky. Does she have to wear black pants and a white shirt to work every day?

I was just thinking about this . . . and I'm also guilty of being an unobservant man. I don't remember what my wife is wearing today either.

I know what she wore yesterday because we talked about it. The corporate head hunter was here in town yesterday and she always rags on the small town gals about their clothes being too "cute" and not enough "power". But I failed to commit her attire to today's memory.

I did remember to get the boy up, got him breakfast, put the breakfast dishes in the dishwasher, cleaned up the table, picked out his clothes (I know what he's wearing), helped him brush his teeth, washed his face, combed his hair, checked to make sure his folder and the book he had to return was in his backpack, checked my servers to make sure they were ok, got myself ready, and got him to school on time.

But, alas, I don't remember which outfit my wife put on today. I should try to do better.

Mine is wearing jeans and a red sweatshirt, but I think if we were on vacation and skiing, I would hope he would know what my snowsuit looked like

Would you know if you only saw his legs? Unless it was some unusual color, I'm sure there were plenty of people there that day with the same colored legs.

Yes, almost every day except when she is feeling rebelious, then she wears a black shirt and white pants.

My husband probably couldn't ever tell you what I'm wearing on any given day, but it's not so much his fault or lack of observation.  He generally leaves for work about time I'm getting in the shower to start my day, so he doesn't actually see me in other than my pj's until after work.


Conversely, I can tell you what he's wearing without even seeing him.  If it's a work day, jeans and a gray work shirt with his name on it. If it's not a work day, jeans and a pocket tee shirt. Creature of habit.
