The guitar's not so difficult. Learn three chords and a Woody Guthrie tune and you'll get the first two out of the way easily. Three through seven: They don't sound remarkably challenging, but small children are. Have no idea on eight. As to nine, think about curling, I don't think there've been any cases of steroids. The chocolate's wonderful in Belgium, but the beer's overrated.

As to the rest, I've no counsel for you.
