Expertise

On what subject(s) are you an authority?

Oh an AUTHORITY…

Well, (clears throat)…lets see

Art, aesthetics, breathing exercises… ask me anything.

I’m kidding.

As much as think I know, what I really know, is that there are vast amounts of information I don’t.

Mostly I know a tiny bit about things, enough to be dangerous, as they say, but don’t put me on Jeopardy.

After a quick Google search, I could SOUND like an authority, but trust me I’m not. This is a funny prompt question

When I was a little kid, I acted like an authority. I walked around giving other kids ‘parts’ in plays. I assigned the pitcher and catchers if it was baseball, who was Dorothy (never me) and who was the scarecrow (always me), where ‘home base’ was, named our kites, approved whether we were done with projects (like the go-cart we built- yes it HAD to be painted and numbered).

Never was anyone less equipped to be an athority (five, six, seven, eight year old me). What might have happened if I’d kept that, yikes…

Happy 4th

  1. I know what I know, and I like to share….running, swimming, biking, cross country skiing, strength training…….I know stuff, and I’m aware of what I’m not an expert on, so I know to ask……heck, I don’t even know me that well…..having two autistc children, I know more than most, but every day is a chance to learn…
