I know I just wrote about this a few minutes ago, but I'd actually thought of several times before. I think I may resolute to go to Cooking / Baking classes they offer at central market whole foods whatever.
Ideally, i will just pick 1 day a week. Say Wednesdays, and I will just sign up for whatever they offer on Wednesday nights for the entire year. I realize there will be crap i have absolutely no interest in, like, cauliflower, or blood pudding, or Turkish delicacies, but undoubtedly there will be some fun things to learn too...
Who knows maybe i'll learn more about wines, or knife skills, or how to make a souffle!
Regardless, I think it'd be fun, and I'll come out the other end a more rounded person. Especially since I can't seem to like reading. I try and try, but it just doesn't appeal to me.
Another idea, is to sign up for random classes about things at ACC or UT or some other place. I'd get terrible grades because I wouldn't do any of the homework, but I'd tell the teacher on the first day i'm only there to soak in what he/she has to teach me, and am saving him/her time grading my crap.
Haven't made up my mind yet, but I do welcome ideas of places to go instead of central Market or Whole Foods for cooking classes. The caveat is, i will only go 1 day a week. i will not go to 2 a week, or 3 days straight stuff. It HAS to be 1 day a week, and probably Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday since I lead such an incredibly exciting life on weekends!

I'm giving Laura some lessons. You want in on it?
both great ideas! Plus, take a look at Meetup.com Austin. There are a multitude of groups that meet. Learn to speak Spanish, dance salsa, taste wine, discuss religion, whatever... Hundreds of groups!! Of course, cooking is ALWAYS good my good buddy!!!!!! YUM! I happen to LIKE cauliflower.
oh, and most meet up groups are free or minimal (if they have to buy wine or something...)
there are informal classes at UT that don't give grades, by the way
IMO...This is one of your best posts in a while (except for the pics of Karma enjoying his Christmas present). I've been thinking about doing a cooking class at CM or WF, too. They have so many!
The informal classes are great. I took a drawing class a couple of years ago and really learned a lot. I had never taken a real art class before and it was so much fun.
More non-running posts.
Got it!
maybe knock knock jokes?
