    I wish I had a wife who cared to take apart a refrigerator. Because, that’s how I started when I was very young–taking apart my toys. Eventually, I figured out how to put them back together. By the time I was a teen, I would disassemble and reassemble film cameras for fun.

    That sort of curiosity, and let’s call it bravery, can be molded, and taught.

      But she won’t put it back together nor document it for me to do later lol. So then I get home and have to spend an hour or two doing shit that didn’t need to happen.
