MEME: Seven Come Eleven

I got tagged by Nettie AKA Jersey Girl this weekend with the dread “Sevens.” The downside of getting tagged this late in the game is there are few of those I read who haven't done this already. So it goes...

7 Things I Plan To Do Before I Die:

1. Revisit the Grand Canyon – this time on mule back;

2. Cruise to Alaska;

3. Finish the doll house for the grands;

4. Write a novel. Maybe a dozen or so (I can dream, dammit!);

5. Go to a national NMRA convention;

6. Build my HO layout close to completion (a dream in my head at the moment); and,

7. Decide where my wife can sprinkle my ashes.

7 Things I Can Do:

1. I can train dogs in protection, obedience and tracking;

2. I can plan – emergency management, short- and long-range community plans, your life, your company's future – everything but my own life and future;

3. I can inspect a building, read and interpret building, fire and other codes, and find the flaws in plans and drawings;

4. I can conduct an arson investigation in both structures and wildlands;

5. I can read and write;

6. I can drive at very high rates of speed, under most conditions, without crashing too badly;

7. I can clear a room in less than 30 seconds by merely singing the opening stanzas of “Amazing Grace” (Christians fear retribution when atheists sing hymns).

7 Things I Can't Do:

1. Suffer fools gladly;

2. paint or draw (artistically);

3. play a musical instrument;

4. tolerate religious fanaticism in any form;

5. touch my toes;

6. breath well enough to walk outdoors any distance; and,

7. take away the pain I have caused others.

   7 Things That Attract Me To The Opposite Sex:

1. boobs;

2. sense of humor;

3. boobs;

4. smile;

5. integrity;

6. brains; and, did I mention ...

7. boobs (I so wanted to be a breast-fed baby)!

   
   7 Things I say most often:

1. I love you, too.

2. God damn it to Hell!

3. Fucking A!!
