QotD: The Three Things I Wish I Could Do

What three things do you regret not learning to do?

This is sort of an odd question - there's still time for nearly all of us to learn new things, isn't there?  So I'm going to answer it as "three things I intend learning how to do" instead.

1. Make puppets and plush toys.  This is something I wanted to learn while I was at home with The Boy full time for a year but just sort of didn't get to it.  But I've had this idea for ages of making my own hand puppets (a ninja, pirate, king, monkey, those sorts of characters) and then constructing a little Punch and Judy style stage thingy to put shows on for the kids.  Honestly.  How much fun would that be?
2. Purchase and learn how to play a piano accordion.  My wife, naturally, isn't too keen on this one, but it's one of those instruments that I've always had a desire to master.  That way, when I'm in my 60s, I can be one of those old guys in a beret sitting on a bench at the neighbourhood shops/mall playing lovely continental tunes.  Not to mention all the tango and traditional Finnish music I could learn as well.  Oh, and I'm hoping to get a digital drumset at some point and teach myself drumming, something I can plug headphones into so I can keep it to myself until I'm at least listenable.
3. Read the classics.  I still haven't read authors like Dickens, Hemingway, Proust, George Orwell's essays, some of the ancient Greeks, you know what I mean. 

There are, of course, more items that I could add to this list.  As I think I've mentioned in the past, I tend to find a topic and learn everything I can about it.  Lately it's been fedoras (after a bit of research and consideration I picked one up the other day, which means that I'm now "that guy in the hat" as I walk to and from work), but study has meant that I've pretty much had to put my own eccentric interests aside and focus on specific subjects instead.  Having knocked off one more course last week with a less than satisfactory 6,700 word essay, I have one more course to go before finishing the Masters completely. 

And it happens to have its assessment due about a week and a bit before K's due date, which, considering that The Boy was six weeks early, means that realistically I should aim to have the single 7,000 word essay submitted by the end of June.  So having had last weekend off, I'll be back into reading and research come this Anzac Day long weekend and all the weekends after...
