A RENAISSANCE MAN

Today a cabinet door. Yesterday a vacuum. I'm really becoming he handyman around the house these days.

Not really. I'm so inapt with mechanical things. I'm not much better at puzzles, crosswords maybe. My problem is my focus.

I view things like that as a waste of time. Therefore, I hurry, lose interest, lose patience. "let me get this done, so I can get to something I enjoy," is my philosophy. It's kinda like wishing away the work week to get to the weekend. If you have a great weekend, it just flies by. If it's bad, it's like the work week. Only worse because of unexpected dire results.

Oh well, now that I'm retired there's not much difference between the real days as my son used to call them and the weekends. Except I get by without doing any work on Sundays. Except cheering for my sports teams.

Maybe I'll look for that old Rubik's cube and practice my patience. And manual dexterity. It's also a matter of confidence. If I find that cube, it won't look like the picture for long.
