Play the Piano, but I'm so tune deaf no way that would ever happen.

I'd like to play guitar like Joe Bonamassa.

Wouldn't that be sweet!

on second thought, maybe take it a bit easier and learn about string theory or loop quantum gravity.


I lived for years under the delusion that with careful study, you may learn to understand one woman in your lifetime. The problem being, they are all different.

For what purpose would one like to understand women? To be able to more smoothly interface with them? Predict and avoid problems? Be more able to have your way with them? Good luck

Back in the day I would have loved to learned how to ride wheelies on the dirt bike. Now I would settle for some serious guitar skills.

I'd like to be a better welder. Oh, I can weld a couple of pieces of steel together and it will hold but it just looks like crap. Frown

I'd really like to learn to play the guitar. Being left-handed, along with life in general, has managed to derail that goal for better than 50 years. And now, as I stand on the brink of retirement, I wonder if my hands retain enough dexterity to give it a try...

I have tried off and on to learn slack-key guitar since living in Maui, but never put in the time.
I would love to learn to play the piano, but come on!
More realistically, I'd like to improve my sight-singing skills for my choral singing.

Acoustic guitars appear to be symmetrical--could you string it backwards and play left-handed?

Me--I'm doing well to just keep doing what I already know.

Walking with good balance, without a cane. Maybe even jogging.

I can do most metal and wood working related work. In this field I would love to learn CNC, everything I do is manual.

What I cant do is play the piano or guitar. It would be nice to go to a restaurant and play some piano.

Some sort of self-defense martial art probably in the combat cane style.

I've never been in an actual fight in my life. Never even hit someone in anger. Talked my way around a couple but never been in a "fight or flight" situation.

I'm the same way, Paul--never hit anyone in anger or been in a fight. I haven't the first clue how to do it properly.
