Resolution

Yesterday was a jam-packed day of activity...first, I met some people at a place called Just Dinners, where you prepare numerous dinners ahead of time (Dinners will hopefully be a breeze around here now, thanks to the walking advertisers, V and M). Then, it was off to Josh's parents house to hang out with his sister and our nieces. I ended up going to see the new pirate movie with the three of them, and then it was back to his parents for a fine lobster dinner. As we finally head home at 9 PM in the van, there's a White Stripes tune playing that I am singing along to. Suddenly, the volume goes down and the following conversation happens:

Jo: You don't notice anything?
Je: Like what?
(He turns up the volume and then turns it down again.)
Je: There's a White Stripes song playing that I was singing to. Did you turn it down because you didn't want to hear my lovely sing-song voice?
Jo: You don't notice anything?
Je: Oh! Is that a CD playing that I hear?
Jo: Yes!
Je: How did you fix it? Did you have to use the shop vac?
Jo: Nope.
Je: What did you do?
Jo: See this?
(He is holding some thing-a-ma-jig that I can't really make out exactly.)
Je: What is that?
Jo: It's a pencil and I put tape around the end and was able to get all the change out and make the CD player work again.
Je: You're my hero, and not to mention, a regular McGyver.
