I was circling the blacktop today, getting my steps in at recess, when one of my students started spinning the basketball on her finger. Well, she tried. By the time I looked, the ball was rolling across the court. It got me thinking - that's something I'd like to learn. And just like that, today's slice of life.
Things I'd Like to Learn:
- guitar
- piano
- basic handiwork
- spinning a basketball on my finger
- Rubix Cube
- how to get a freelance writing job
- open/close my pool (and save tons of money)
- fix most car issues
- investing
- the running man
- write a mystery
- write a courtroom drama
- Spanish
- French
- hem
- public speaking
- poetry (beyond free verse)
- raise teenagers
- deal with opposing POVS in a calm hey-it's-okay kind of way
- Yoga
- landscape painting
- photography
- lacrosse
- self-defense
- ballroom dancing
- convince people global warming is real
- say the alphabet backward (fast)
- say the states in alphabetical order (fast)
- direct a film
- gardening (beyond the basics of plants needing water, soil and sun)
What's the point of living if you're not learning?
Wish me luck!

I love this and now I'm thinking about my own list. I agree that we should never stop learning!
