Duh

My front door recently got “sticky”, if you will. Can’t live with that.

Happened to be listening to Beethoven at the time but thought I can

listen and  do also. Good call as it turns out.

Afterward I surveyed the nearest table “cum staging area” for the task.

This is what I saw in no order. A 20 oz. carpenters framing hammer,

a three inches long three eights inch diameter aluminum drift pin,

a can of W/D forty, soiled paper towels, and most important of all

an inch and a half wide wood chisel, actually used as a wedge.

I thought you might contemplate, as I did,  what it takes to correct

a simple household problem. As it turns out I had built the door

approximately twenty five years earlier, need I say more?

My point , which up to now was not clear to me is this.

Man can solve his problems if he wants to. After all they’re

just the result of something he did in the past.

By the way the orchestra was the Youth Orchestra of Bolivia

and I had the thought yes, Beethoven was once a youth
