Narrative:

I was directed by roc ground control to taxi to runway 7, and I was talking to a new front seat passenger and started to taxi toward runway 25 -- the wrong direction -- when the controller corrected me. It's because of the FAA in picking on all these small mistakes that I'm sending this in for protection. Nothing else really happened.
