On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

. . . I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
Stay thirsty, my friends.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I should be more social on the weekends. I'm so charming that it seems like a waste not to.

I read a lot.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

If we're talking recreation, I golf, spend time with the wife and kid, cook, read, and follow baseball and football. I have a Jeep I keep around for fun, and I've been known to spend some time under its hood when needed. I've also recently started gardening, and, during the nicer months, I try to get outdoors, even if it's just going to the park. There's a bit of TV watching in my life, though that has decreased substantially in the last year or so. Aside from the fun stuff, I cut grass/maintain the yard, run errands, and try to help the wife with cleaning.
