Five Things I Am Good At

Share five things you’re good at.

• Writing/Telling Stories: Probably not as well as, say, Stephen King, Ernest Hemingway, Tom Clancy, or Steven Spielberg, but I can craft a few good sentences on occasion, and sometimes, people like what I create or, in case of short films, collaborate on
• Cook: Okay, this one’s sort of tricky, because (as you know if you are a Constant Reader) I have not cooked anything from scratch since the summer of 2016. But in the Land of Ago, I cooked frequently after my mother became ill and could not prepare meals anymore. I even made Colombian-style frijoles (beans) once, and they came out good
• Remember Things: Even considering the effects of aging, depression, overall health, and all that, I still have a good memory. Sure, I forget things every so often, but I can sometimes remember small details about long-ago events and people I have not seen in decades
• Sing: I probably don’t sing as well as I used to when I was in the choral groups at South Miami Senior High, and I don’t think I’ll ever sing before a computer’s camera and upload the results to YouTube, but I can carry a tune decently. At least, good enough to try my hand at karaoke every so often
• Compose Haiku:

Auburn hair, loose, brushed

Past fair shoulders gently spills

Catches morning’s light
