Random skill you've always wanted to learn (but haven't)

Always wanted to learn wood carving.

You?

Well, I've picked up most of the random skills I wanted to... throwing axes and knives is always fun at parties, but I still haven't learned to unicycle.

Wouldn't it be the momma and poppa moles that need that "skill"?

I bought a violin (at Target) and a couple of "how to play" books. I quickly arrived at the conclusion that learning the violin really requires live human instruction. That was a couple of years ago. The violin (a Yamaha Educational violin) makes good decor.

Mole Sauce, ya know, a million ingredients and chocolate.

I was Suzuki parent for my daughter until she quickly outstripped the need for me. My initial impression was that if I'd known how easy that sh*t was, I never would have gone to law school. Among other things, I taught myself Hava Nagila, which I envisioned playing over and over again at the Alzheimer's wing of a Jewish nursing home. Sadly, without the familial call to duty in play, my self study soon fell by the wayside.

My attempt to teach myself clarinet years earlier quickly went nowhere.

I'd like to know how to sew.
