See there !! And y'all thought I could do anything !
Now not to brag or anything but I always said there were
only two things in this world that I couldn't do....
1) Strike a match on a wet marshmallow... and
2) stretch a gnat's a$$ over a rain barrel.
Well maybe that is kind of a stretch. (no pun intended) but as
I was sitting here reminiscing this afternoon I discovered that
maybe there are a couple things I'm just not capable of. I only
say this because some things I have never tried and have any
desire to try so I will never know if I'm capable of doing them.
Jumping out of a plane comes to mind. A couple of my friends
have done skydiving and love it . My daughter called last summer
and was planning to do it and ask me to come out. Those plans
fell through however. I have done some high crane work and such
in my Millwright days and I can honestly say I never had the urge
to jump off of the crane rails so I seriously doubt that I could be
motivated to jump out of a perfectly good airplane for no other
reason that to 'feel free' as they say. Besides I kinda like that
restrained feeling.
Not all are physical things Divorcing and remarrying for instance.
I'm not judging.. everyone is different but I see people together
fifteen-twenty years get divorced and within a year they have found
someone and are getting married again. If that makes them happy
God Bless them. I'm not sure I could. In the first place ..I signed
on for the long haul. Now if you think it's always going to be a bed of
roses well you will probably get a few surprises coming your way.
That isn't always true.. Some are near perfect and blessed are the couples
that join in those unions. Those matches are made in heaven but most
fall just a tad short. Growing up I was always told I could have any
woman I pleased ! Problem is I never pleased any of them. lol Thank
God I did find one that tolerates me. I'm not sure that if anything would
happen in my marriage that I could find another to volunteer for this
duty. So just in case I'll behave and stay put as long as she lets me .....
Swimming.. I never learned to swim. One of the things I regret. I
guess I could still learn, I'd love to.. but probably won't. Oh I guess
if I fall out of the boat a few times I'll catch on. And if I don't catch
on it really won't matter anymore........
The more I think about it the more I realize this list could go on forever.
but it's after midnight and I don't want to overwork my fingers typing
and wake in the middle of the night with finger cramps so I'll cut this
off right here. I'll make mental notes as I think of things throughout
the week and maybe have a Vol 2.... and 3....and 4....and 5....and 6.....
