Don’t tell me there is is nothing that can be done to bring about peace in the Middle East.
Don’t tell me it’s impossible for Hillary Clinton to yet be president. Or for Trump to win a second term in a landslide.
Don’t tell me you will never be called up to the stage to accept an Oscar. Or be named Super Bowl MVP. Or win the Powerball jackpot.
Anything — anything — is possible, as I, the world’s unhandiest person, proved today when I changed a light bulb in my pool.
Granted, it took five hours, I had to watch seven youtube "how to" videos, made three trips to the pool supply store, and my index finger is bandaged after being pierced by a screwdriver but, by God, I did it.
And I’m going to switch it on as soon as I can find a youtube video that will reassure me it’s OK if water got into the fixture as I was screwing it back into the side of the pool.
