What is a smallish thing that you’re incredibly good at?
Thanks to everyone who read, responded, subscribed, and forwarded last week’s edition. A reminder - each week I’ll post the previous week’s question, an answer, and that person’s question for you to answer next week.
Previous Question:
What is a smallish thing that you’re incredibly good at?
[Before we get to an answer, here’s mine: I might be the best in the world at ambulatory eating. I can eat a sandwich while driving, a burrito on the train, halal while walking down the street… And I won’t spill a drop. In general, I think eating in public is dicey and perhaps should be discouraged. But I am the exception. — Jody]
Marc answers: I am incredibly good at 80s music trivia, or as I like to say the new Classic Rock. From A-ha to U2 and everything in between. The very 1st album I bought was the Gary Numan album “Pleasure Principle” with the 80s hit Cars on it.
Next Ask:
What was the first album you ever bought?
