Firestarter

I started a fire last night, with my mind. Actually, I set a saucepan plus oil on the stove and walked away for a few minutes, so technically I started it with the absence of my mind. I have learned some things from this experience:

1. Once burned, a saucepan is never the same again.
2. I'm a difficult person to console. Hugs, kind words and an understanding attitude all make it worse.
3. The best evidence that you have been near lots of smoke is inside your nose.
4. Our smoke detector works.

PS - Casualties of the fire: the good looks of one saucepan.
PPS - Plus a bit of pride.

The visual of John running around, trying to put the fire out - priceless.
