Splitting Wood

Anne went out after lunch to see a friend so I decided that I would do some weight training. Then I remembered that I needed to split some wood. I had put some cut logs in the cellar last year to keep them dry, so I hauled them all outside. I discovered that I am no longer 20 years old. I can still split wood, but my body reacts more angrily than it did when I was younger. By the time I got done I was warm enough that I didn't bother to build a fire. However, I did need fortification in the form of a wee dram. I think I also need a maul designed for splitting. I was using an axe which I don't believe is made for that purpose. I guess I'll have to go to Home Depot.
