Crowbar

I spent an hour today dismantling a formica-covered wood cabinet using a crowbar and hammer. I’ve never held a crowbar in my hand and it felt surprisingly good—the substantial weight and observing its elegant S curve. I don’t feel particularly frustrated or angry this week so I was surprised at the satisfaction I found in taking apart the large piece of furniture. Perhaps I enjoyed feeling productive having physically removed a large object from the hallway at work. And I’m beginning to think everyone should own a crowbar, simply for its multi-purpose function and heavy presence in your tool box or shed.
