Things I Can Do

As I was driving home from jumping off my car....yet again....after picking it up from the repair shop only an hour earlier....I started composing this list in my head.  Granted, I had been sitting in 100-degree-plus heat for quite some time, but it seemed the sort of thing that would make a good blog entry.  It also felt good to remember that there are some things that I am capable of completing, on occasion, without too many problems. Without further ado, I give you a list (non-comprehensive) of Things I Can Do:

• Jump  a Dead Vehicle Off
• Change a Flat Tire
• Check Levels for and Put in Engine Oil, Brake Fluid, Windshield Wiper Solution. Etc.
• Design and Build a Stained Glass Window
• Design and Free-hand a Calligraphic Work
• Play the Piano and Organ
• Bake a Damn Good Carrot Cake, Granny's Corn Bread, and a Sour Cream Pound Cake That Will Make You Sell Your Soul for More
• Fry Chicken/Tomatoes (what the hell...anything) in a Cast Iron Skillet
• Cross Stitch/Embroider/Machine Sew Simple Things
• Make Pottery Things (Handbuilt)
• Give a Dog a Pill
• Write Poetry
• Assemble Things with Power Tools
• Take Adequate Pictures with the Nikon If Not Rushed
• Analyze Literature
• Travel Well Alone
• Hook up Electronics
• Do Basic Troubleshooting
