What did you do tonight? As for me, I fixed our refrigerator. Normally, I wouldn’t bore any of you with this tale, but it is a momentous achievement based on my lineage. You see, my dad has all of the handy household Mr. Fixit skills of a blind man wearing a full body cast. During various attempts at fixing or building things, he has given himself a concussion, partially cut off a finger, used a hand saw on his thigh, stapled his hand to cardboard, sledgehammered a stake through a waterpipe, run the car into the garage wall, broken a lawnmower, gotten stuck on the roof, and set part of the backyard on fire.
I have apparently avoided at least some of these mishaps, because I turned our fridge from a sweltering sauna into a chilly icebox by taking most of it apart, fiddling with parts that I actually knew the name to, and put it all back together without any parts left over. And, no blood was shed. Three cheers for me, I may have to go intentionally break stuff just to test my new found skills.
