Adult Education Classes for the Bored and Annoyed
13th January 2019
It’s the middle of the month of the new year, and you haven’t reduced your screen time, learned French, lost weight, organized the drawers or anything else you resolved to do. January sits on your chest like a fat, dead possum.
But you know what they say about possums: They only play dead. So embrace the good news — you have a live, nasty possum on your chest.
Let me rework that metaphor. You have plenty of chances to start something new, and it’s just a two-step process. Step 1, slowly roll over, so the possum slides off. Two, look at that glossy community education catalog that arrived in the mail. It’s full of interesting classes. It’s like college, without the crippling debt and early-20s sense of existential despair.
