Yes, it's weekly word time again. We've tracked down Robert and found him at his home. Thank God my own love life is going far better than that. We've found Robert trying to do repairs and some home improvement by himself.

It's an expression of the male ego, or machoism. Today Robert is fiddling around with his broken stereo, thinking he can fix it. Robert just loves using all that stuff for anything in the apartment. Even covers up the cat's hair loss areas. After a few hours of playing with putty, caulking, and spackle, Robert feels good.
