Talents

So I'm fairly certain that I was one of the first Americans to really get into Ace of Base.  Just putting that on the table.

MOOSE Update:
This week we had a moose encounter.  The moose tried to attack our car and flip it over like the T-rex in Jurassic Park.  But I thwarted his attack by staring him down and after a truly epic battle, the moose retreated.  I did not manage to get a picture but did commission an artist to paint a rendition of our confrontation:

Then he painted a trout for me to hug, just for kicks:



About 6 months ago, roommate Shane asked me what I was good at.  I have been thinking about it since.  Here is what I have come up with:

Things I Am Good At

Spotting animals
Sneaking into places
Flyfishing
Distinguishing between grizzly and black bears
Dinosaur knowledge
This puzzle
Shark identification
Reading
Enjoying stars at night without knowing hardly anything about them
Backpacking
Rock skipping
Trout identification
Knowing when it will be a good sunset
Staring contests
Losing things
Finding things
Birds
Cliff jumping
Road trips
Bus rides
Enjoying juice
Making grilled cheese


Things I Am Not So Good At

Getting retarded Lady Ga Ga songs out of my head

As you can probably see, I spent a good part of my childhood boning up on my animal facts.  Much to my chagrin, this knowledge has not done much for me in the money and babes department, but I have a feeling it is going to pay off soon.
