Day 3 of a two week class actually. Possibly the world’s most boring and frustrating class. You know in City Slickers, when Bruno Kirby is trying to teach Daniel Stern how to program his VCR? And Billy Crystal tells him to give it up because he is never going to get it? All through this class, I have this almost unsquelchable urge to yell “The cows can do it by now!” [to my fellow classmates, should any of you ever find your way to my blog – I mean the other people in the class of course – not you.]<\/span><\/em> I work at home though which means I am taking the class from home and no one can see me when I doze off – I mean when I am paying strict attention to every detail of what is going on.

Have a great day all – follow me on Twitter if you like and I promise to update you on how the class is going.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
