Most often Jim is not able to contribute much to our household. I do give him simple chores yet anything more complicated than taking out the garbage requires vigilant supervision. Nevertheless, his innate, historic skills surface to good effect every now and then.
It's not known widely but, in addition to chess, Jim has nurtured since childhood a passion for antennas and radio. We've been ensconced here in the old farts home for a year; and throughout our Bose radio never has worked a damn. Last week whilst I was running errands, Jim restrung the antenna/power cord and the radio has been perfect ever since so we can play it all day long! And, we do.
Such a rare glimmer of the real Jim is purely incandescently wondrous.
