    I totally agree. Last year I signed up for Archeology of the Bay Area classes - we even had field trips. It was SO much fun! I learned a lot about the area I live in and want to learn more. I also met a lot of really nice people to share interests with. IMHO you're never too old to learn new things and if you think you are, then you truly are too old.

    P.S. Richard, I'm also a Notary. Boring class, but it's part of my job and a little extra something I can add to my resume.

    It took me several years to get back on the school bus. But I have been taking a class each semester in accounting. I have worked in accounting for the past 5 years and finally decided I should take some classes. It is fun! I have met lots of nice people. It's nice because the school is right down the street from where I live so I don't have to go far after class at 8pm.
    In fact, I go tonight. And I'm looking forward to figuring out a problem I couldn't understand in our homework.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Masonry!

    My dad made bricks for 30 years and I always wanted to learn how to lay brick-insert joke there!

    He did a few projects around the house that need repair or have to be torn down and rebuilt.

    I am excited because I like to work outdoors and I can get little side jobs to earn extra money.

    It's way too cool and I can hardly wait to go back.

    Redd,

    I loved my anthro classes, I bet archeo was way more fun!

    TZ,

    The 'meeting people' part is very cool.

    I have to post a few pics from my class!

    I am so stoked about being able to build the projects we are given.

    The first two pics are of a column that I am building. We have a blueprint that gives us the specs and we build it from there......they are small and we are graded on how we build it according to the specs.

    I struggled for a bit, but now I have the basic steps down.

    I still have a way to go....

    The last two pics are of projects that the advanced groups are building.

    They are doing cinder block walls and veneer work.

    It's a great class and I really love it. I am mad I never tried it before!

    Wow Richard! That's fantastic. Never stop learning! Notary is boring but can bring you the bucks! I'm fascinated by architecture so masonry is so cool. I almost majored in archeology but thought it would be hard to make a living at it. I'd love to do it as a hobby now. Where did you take the class Reddhead?
    I've been signing up for every cooking class I can. I get to take them free so I consider it a job perk. I just love learning new things too!

    great job

    I love taking classes... but most of my interests revolve around dance and art and creativity stuff. I've been doing it with my mom since I was young. we always took some sort of line dancing class or craft class together.

    Now that we live far away... this is something I still like to do and makes me feel closer to her in a way and soemthing I would LOVE for hannah to want to do with me in the future.

    Right now I would like to take a belly dancing class. sounds liek fun and will be good fitness for me as well.

    also I'd like to take some sort of crochet or knitting class as well as sewing.

    Im just a creative person at heart and love to expand those types of things.




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
