10 Things

Ok, during my long ass drive with the piano I had plenty of time to think up interesting blog posts. At one point in my trip I had just finished about 6 Mt Dews (I needed that many to keep myself just barely conscious) and decided to stop and pee at the Buffalo Alice exit. Of course my mind was a little fuzzy and my eyeballs were floating so I didn't think about where I was parking...at least not until I came back out.

"Ohh Crap, How the hell do I back this thing up?"

After what must have been a very comedic performance for the 13yr old behind the counter I finally did manage to get back on the freeway and kept wishing I would have practiced a few times in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

As I was strolling along listening to Boneyard on XM I came up with this list of:

10 Things You Wish Your Parents Would Have Taught You

1. Patience - Some days do you feel like you are constantly on hold or in line somewhere
2. How to Sew - White thread with black pants = Bad
3. Pick out Wine - Anything more than "some are red, some are white"
4. File Taxes - I sure miss the 1040EZ days
5. Negotiate/Hagle - I know I paid 3x too much for my first car
6. How to Dance - How not to look like a white guy from MN
7. Insurance - Simply to explain how 10% of the population uses 90% of the benefit
8. Breakups - This is one thing that doesn't get any easier with practice
9. Dress 4 Success - It seems so simple but ask my wife, I have no clue
10. Backup a Trailer - Handy when moving a piano
