Sammy the Sparrow (R.I.P.)

by Will Graebe

I’m a fixer. Give me a problem, and I’ll offer you a solution. If you don’t believe me, just ask my wife. She will tell you that I am all too eager to bestow upon her my great wisdom to solve any problem that she might encounter. Whether it’s an argument she had with a friend or a customer service representative who didn’t give her what she wanted, I have a 5-part plan for her to resolve the situation. I might even offer her contingency solutions at no charge.
