I think it's because, you know, being an adult who manages all the tasks of grown-upness is my biggest accomplishment in life, and a recent conquest, and I can recognize the joy of seemingly inconsequential conquests. And I live in, and love, DC. <BR/><BR/>With respect to your admirable list, I think learning to drive a stick shift is one of the most useful skills in the universe. I regularly thank my parents for torturing me at 16 teaching me to drive on one, and now I can drive a cute little classic convertible when not taking the metro. <BR/><BR/>Careful with the power tools. Not only can they be dangerous, but addicting. I don't have any idea when I'm going to use my masonry drill *ever* again. But apparently men get all aggressive when they find out I have one. I guess if I need to evict an unwanted suitor from my house, I can put the thing in a large mouse-trap. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-1152308204497702802006-07-07T22:36:00.000+01:002006-07-07T22:36:00.000+01:00Sorry I think I got all idiot this year...You will...Sorry I think I got all idiot this year...You will finish your list ...and if you need reminders that if we could survive Mr. Van Winkle we could survive anything you know where I am...and if you need a place to run to the spare bed is empty and this is the only time of year it's warm on the island!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
