What did you do for the first time in your life today?
Maybe this thread exists someplace, but I couldn't find it. What is something you have done recently for the first time in your life? Doing new things is something I want to do more of this year.
I saw my baseball home team on the road and was that guy in the stands rooting for the visiting team. |

I taught myself to play Getting In Tune by The Who on piano (or keyboard, actually). It is the first real tune that I've learned entirely without aid for the keys and it excites me that I've progressed far enough to play it. Given that I just started playing in November I don't think I'm doing so bad. Not great, but certainly not bad.
And yeah, I know it's a simple song. Still and all. Next up is Baba O'Reilly. I swear I'm going to conquer that beast if it kills me!

hey, willravel: if you really want to take the elbow grease out of cleaning your engine, use a can of Coca-Cola. It's magic - seriously. (No off-brands, though; gotta be Coke!)
Oh, topic? I actually finished reading an entire article in Esquire. I feel like such a big boy now!

I got a shower, and was in there for at least 5 minutes before i realized I forgot to take off my underwear. I've never done that before. I am ridiculously sick though, so I think it's understandable.

Whee! I just rode my bicycle on a busy divided "main street". I kinda screwed up my route to the bank and ended up either taking the non-sidewalk or the road for 3 blocks. It wasn't bad at all, I took the left arrow and hammered the poo out of my bike, only ended up getting passed by one car and she was pretty respectful, 3.5 or 4 feet separated us.
Taking the lane is GREAT! I just learned this technique recently and it really helps with cars respecting you. I'm going to try to be able to post in this thread two or three times a week, new stuff is exciting. Quote:

I just gave away something through Freecycle. We had some furniture that wasn't being used and we needed the space.

It the first time I ever got such a good hair cut, so I'm counting it.

I slept in until 8am. At least it feels like the first time. This week has been very, very crazy.

I went on some rides at the local amusement park with my daughter that I'd never been on before - a small coaster called Taxi Jam, a helicopter ride that runs on an elevated track, and Dora's Dune Buggies, which basically goes around and around. Hey, she's 3 - we're not going on the Behemoth or anything for a few more years!
