oh the places you'll go

[phineasjones]

one of many reasons to shop at the local central american markets: i just bought beans, rice and plantains enough for several dinners and got change back for my $5.

now, i am sitting, feeling pretty darn good, sipping spanish red wine and reading the cambridge center for adult ed catalog and thinking about all the courses i would take if i had infinite time and money.

here are some:
-birdwatching for beginners (dunno why, i'm a morning person... seems appropriate)
-the koran (isn't spelled qu'ran these days? and, it can't be true that the instructor's name is michael koran... can it?)
-forbidden love:transgressive short stories
-crusades and jihad: christians and muslims in conflict in the 21st century
-a short history of socialism
-spanish
-arabic
-haitian creole
-wine and vegetarian foods from artisan producers (taught by didi emmons, my chef hero!)
-bluegrass in new england
-belly dancing
-ballroom dance
-latin dance
-transgender cinema
-handmade paper workshop
-bookbinding
-jewelry making
-feng shui: the art of harmonious environments
-yoga
-massage
-feldenkreis
-t'ai chi
-car care


though, a better idea would probably be selling myself to them as a music teacher or ensemble leader. hmm. time to cook some rice and beans.
