They are myriad things at which I am hopeless.

I am mechanically inept.

I cannot do anything relating to electricity, plumbing, or irrigation on my own.

I am hopeless at many practical things.

In terms of most arms of mathematics, physics, chemistry and music I am worse than useless.

I am paranoid about the prospect of weather and climate induced disasters.

I can not switch off from thinking about education and the world economy.

Many more weaknesses are ingrained into my psyche.

BUT

I am good at..

Singing

Listening

Public speaking

Writing and publishing – all the way back to the mid 1960’s

Keeping debt at arm’s length.
