Skillz Part Deux

DCB's post today reminded me that I have some very random abilities that I picked up as I dabbled in every possible activity growing up. I know just about all the words to the musical 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.' Why? Because I was part of the church production of the musical when I was 10, and I've just never forgotten it. But that skill is simple memorization; certainly not a jaw-dropper. So I started thinking. What exactly IS my most impressive talent? Quickest su-do-ku puzzle solver? Nah. Funniest Canadian? Too subjective.

Well, following much deliberation, the vote was unanimous (which it would be...there was only one voter). I have one skill that nobody else I know has, thus making it my most awe-inspiring ability. In grade 8 I was a championship jump roper who went school-to-school to perform. I can still do most of my tricks (I say 'most' only because it has not been confirmed in many years whether I can still do a cartwheel into double dutch ropes). Maybe I'll even bring a jump rope to the next happy hour. Impressed?

Almost as cool as knowing how to curl (sadly, I've only ever been a spectator of that skill)...
