    What do you wish you were good at?

    Since I'm overly caucasian , I wish I could dance. I mean really dance. I'd also like to excel at playing musical instruments. What do you wish you could do?

      I wish I could play that guitar I made last year!

      I also wish I could sing again....a voice disorder has made it difficult to even speak for the past 7 years, let alone sing...I really miss singing.
      Happiness is sort of like wetting your pants....everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

                I would love to be good at golf. Don't have time for it, don't really love playing or anything, absolutely no desire to work to perfect the game. However, for business purposes I would love to be able to play instead of just drinking beer.

                My bankroll wishes I was good at laying down pocket jacks.

                My wife wishes I was good at communication.

                    ...presenting myself well to people, whether one-on-one or to a crowd. Also, public speaking. Every time I try I have **less** confidence than the last. Isn't that supposed to work the other way?

                      I wish I was a lot better at playing the piano than I am.

                        You could always have a sex change. That'd do it.

                              I think Ed was talking about things within the realm of reasonable or even miraculous possibilities for mankind in general! That is a dream and wish of ALL men after they get married.
