RALEIGH, N.C. --When John Cornwell graduated from Duke University last year, he landed a job as software engineer in Atlanta but soon found himself longing for his college lifestyle. So the engineering graduate built himself a reminder of life on campus: a refrigerator that can toss a can of beer to his couch with the click of a remote control. "I conceived it right after I got out," said Cornwell, a May 2006 graduate from Huntington, N.Y. "I missed the college scene. It embodies the college spirit that I didn't want to let go of."

Ding ding ding - we have a winner!!!!
You're damn right I am. I will always be the one to hold the door, pick up the dog poop, mow the lawn and do all the heavy work. I have no problem doing my fair share of the light work, too, and then some. I just really hate folding and sorting laundry. I would much rather go build a new waterfall and koi pond or clean the gutters or replace the roof.
COOL! Good luck to him. It's sure nt easy. I can build just about anything, but a boat requires a level of patience I just don't have.
I am so ready for winter to be over. UGH! I really want to go get back on the water.
Ah, you're a mensch. I know the type. Mr. Trisham goes to work, brings home the bacon and fries it up in a pan. :)
I'd grill it.
:)
LOL! Now you are scaring me.
I'll make a deal with you --=- I'll fold and sort the laundry for you is you help my husband finish the roofing and siding on my house..............
He actually has that kind of patience, which I do onot, yet it finds he doesn't understand the patience I have for some of the things I do, like sewing, and jelly making.
Technically our winter has not really been all that "bad." but like you I'm ready for it to be over.......I have more of a need to get out in the gardens than on the water.......but that too shall come. The friend whose boat we have access to won't be climing it again until the end of June, he stores it here for the winter, so we'll have time to get out on the water.
PS........in the deal I offered you about laundry and roofing/siding -- I'll fetch the beer - I'm good at that chore :)
DEAL!
Hell yeah, that makes the deal all the better! You have to have a few with us though, but I'm sure you included that as part of the deal fine print already.
For me, beer is like fuel for work. I can just keep on going as long as i have beer.
Tell me about it........I just made a beer run. I was out and I'm putting up jam and jelly this afternoon, it gets right toasty in that kitchen with all those stock pots a-boilin'!
