...Larry. I set off the smoke alarm in my sister's house trying to grill a steak on her Jennair indoor grill the first night of a weekend house-sitting gig.

....for some odd reason, she never asked me to house-sit again!

...and, if I'm lighting a fire in a fireplace that is somewhere other than my home, 9 times out of 10, I'll unintentionally close the flue instead of opening it.
