Ten Things I Want to Know How to Do.

1. Fix cars/bikes. Then I wouldn't have to go to the mechanics. I would think semi-seriously about getting back on the station wagon. Or at least either my Vespa, or a diesel mini coupe.
2. Make shoes. I think it would be the end of my academic career. At this point in time I don't a thing in the world wrong with that.
3. Self-diagnose and self-treat all my own illnesses and surgeries. I am getting there with Dr Google. Worked out I have gall bladder issues, and B— doesn't have appendicitis. I am thinking of removing my cancerous moles next weekend.
4. Speak French. Of course, if I make shoes this will not be needed. But if I go ahead with the PhD, then French will be helpful for the project I have in mind. (Secrecy maintained for upcoming list regarding possible PhD topics.)
