Lessons Learned

The thought struck me that you cannot be 58 years old without having lived for 58 years.  I am 58 and I have learned quite a lot in my many years of living.  Here is a list of important lessons I have learned:

1.  It is possible to stab yourself in the ass with a knife that is still inside the shrink-wrapped display package.

2.  Motorcycles can fly for a short distance.

3.  Motorcycles don’t necessarily like to fly for short distances.

4.  I need more practice at walking through closed doors.

5.  Alone is a state of being that must be properly managed at all times.

6.  We need to be nicer to insects.

7.  Spiders are not insects.

8.  Snow has a scent that changes with temperature.

9.  The number 10 follows this.
