Hi idea of a good time i helping me change tbe oil in tbe car, building something out of crap wood from the garage, rotating the tire on bis bicycle, or digging a bole to China in tbe backyard. Watch him work in some of bis creations and you notice the determination in bi eye and bi set jaw of dedication to his task. In his bedroom you may ee a cobweb of tring from tbe bed post, to tbe dresser, to tbe clo et door and back to the bed again . (The rea on i yet a mys tery!)
