C is Ambitious, Plus No Trip to JHU ER

We have this one print that is especially vexing in terms of its size for framing. The print itself cost about $12. However, it requires custom framing that could cost in excess of $112. That seems a bit much no?

Enter Superman C with his tools, know-how, and resolve. . .

The scene earlier this afternoon:

C on his hands and knees miter box on a towel in the center of the kitchen floor, lengths of molding surrounding him. . .

d: "Please be careful."

C: "Careful is my middle name, baby."

d proceeds to the basement to do wifely laundry duty. Wants beer during Pittsburgh game but is scared might have to drive saw-wielding husband to the ER at any moment.

From above: Saw, saw, saw, whack. . .saw, saw, saw, whack. . . .muffled sanding and sawing noises.

d cracks beer. . .

From above C blurts out: "Oh Fudge!"

pause, pause pause. . .d listening. All muffled sanding and sawing ceases. . .

d: "Are you OK?"

(Imagine your own cricket noises) followed by the sound of running water. . .That can only mean one thing and it ain't good.

d: (Second verse same as the first. . .) "Are you OK?"

C: "I'm fine"

d: "Do you need a band aid?"

C: Clearly insulted and somewhat indignant. . ."Pftt. No."

d swills adult beverage. . .Whew
