Somehow

My Dad's favorite word when describing something that happened on his computer is "somehow".  For example, the following is an exact story that he told me last weekend:

"Did I tell you about the problem I had last week with my computer?  One day my internet connection stopped working.  I called the cable company and they told me to try a few things, and then concluded that I must have some kind of virus.  What is the name of that virus that is going around?  Then I remembered that I had a few months of updates I had been putting off from Symantec.  So I accepted the Symantec updates, unplugged the router, and re-started the computer.  Somehow this worked and my connection came back."
