Pros
I'm relatively tall, which has always been a benefit to me.
I have been told on occasion that I am handsome, but YVMV, and that was when I wasn't *old.*
I have what I think is a great voice, which must have some genetic component.
I like to think that I've always been smart, if not wise, which also must have a genetic component.
Cons
It seems I have inherited most of my parents' health issues.
I have always been clumsy as hell. I have the dexterity of a brick.
I'm pretty sure that I inherited my dad's mean streak and temper, but I don't know how much of that is nature vs. nurture.
I had always believed that I would be able to go into my twilight years at least with a full head of hair. Apparently, though, that belief was unwarranted.
I am habitually lazy. This has always been true. I have always hated exercise and physical labor. Is this a genetic issue? I mean, it may have something to do with the tumor on my pituitary gland, but does that make it genetic?
