A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

-Robert A. Heinlein

I have done all but two of the items on his list, and I have butchered a deer so that's close. I hope to put off the last item on that bucket list for a long time.

Well-I’ve done everything but die...unless my fishing boat doesn’t count then add that too.
