non-school classes I've taken throughout my life

• ballet: I just liked the gauzy skirts and leaping about
• acoustic guitar: it finally stuck when I taught myself
• piano: I need to get back to this one
• electric organ: but my memory could be playing tricks on me
• typing: before personal computers!
• gymnastics: again more leaping about
• writing: word.
• bookbinding: still have that fancy book I made
• Japanese: conversational — thought I was going to Japan. Didn't.
• Spanish: Latin American conversational— for a trip to Cuba
• Self-defense: the instructor kept a flask of banana powder strapped to his leg!?!?
• yoga: this one changed my life
• belly dancing: wouldn't mind more of that
• singing: it's more than the physical action
• juggling: well, I tried
• CPR: thank goodness I haven't had to use these skills yet
• First Aid: don't pull an object out of a puncture wound!
• unicycling: a great way to get a puncture wound
• Thai Cooking: the big secret was minced garlic sauteed in LOTS of oil
• SCUBA: magical mystery tour
• banjo: Scrugg's style
• Raku pottery: it was the zeitgeist
• elemental magick: it takes all kinds…
