Swimming - I swam across the lake of the Ozarks in Missouri at some silly army school and it took me just about all year to do it. Granted, the water was freezing and I was wearing boots, but still. I'm kinda kinda phobic around water because I don't have the swimming technique thing down. I really need to take classes to get over the mild fear and to develop my technique so it becomes mechanical instead of mysterious. It'd be good exercise, too.

Talking to Women - Turns out I suck at communicating with the opposite sex when I'm in an intimate relationship. The second we hook up or move in or declare exclusivity? I develop a horrible case of Tower of Babel mouth. I'm too blunt, I'm too practical, I'm not romantic enough. I treat them like I treated fellow NCOs: I love you, we're a team, I'd take a round to the chest for ya... but I'm not going to say it. I'm a landscaping shovel, not a silver teaspoon.
