THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO BE

I would like to be an Orchestra leader… among about 43 other things. The Orchestra leader can stand with a little 16” skinny baton and lead one hundred plus musicians in various and difficult music compositions with precision and skill. This person can call out the strings, percussion, horns, brass, woodwind and drums. I suppose I would have to learn how to read music first.

Another thing I would like to be is a Consultant Couch Coach. Just sit on the couch during NFL and Collegiate football games and have the various teams call me for which play to run next. The only reason I mention this is because while watching these games on TV I always know what play they should have called after they called the one they did that did not work. When they run the ball and should have passed…I always know better. Man, they should just call me…

Other things I would like to be: helicopter pilot, cowboy, folk singer, sculptor, fire lookout, poet, dog trainer, truck driver, philosopher, stonemason, jewelry maker, fiddle player, saddle maker, photographer, architect, journalist, organic vegetable gardener, designer of houses and clothing… and all the 43 other things.
