While overcome by a wave of testosterone and masculinity (and an obsessive desire to use his dremel tool) Bryan decided to perform a household chore on Saturday. He removed what was left of a crank that would have been used to open our living room window about 20 years ago, when the window still opened. The crank is missing and all that was left was the business end of a bolt. This bolt was sticking out at the perfect level to snag the peanut's eye, lip or head if she feel near the window. So her Daddy Guy hacked it off.
Three things contributed to his decision to take on this task.
#1. Genuine concern for Peanut safety.
#2. As I mentioned before, his dremel tool. It was his Christmas gift a year ago, but it has been more of a gift to me. If I have a job that needs to be done and the dremel tool can be used somehow then Bryan does it immediately and with great joy.
#3. In a rare moment of planning and foresight Bryan realized that the NFC and AFC championship games were on on Sunday. To be able to watch these games unfettered and without nagging he would need to complete a "to do list" task. Considering the below zero weather, he found a job that could be done without ever having to go outside.
My favorite part of the project was this: With a little gentle nagging I was able to persuade Bryan that in a freak event; the sparks and tiny pieces of metal that were flying off of the cutting wheel and bolt could hit him in the eye, lodge deep in his cornea and cause instant and irreversible blindness. To prevent this he put on some of my biggest "Nicole Richie" sunglasses. I felt the ones with the rhinestones where the safest.

And for all the Peanut fans...a cute picture of Lilly clapping.
