Looks like my cooking class has gotten me an invitation to a late-August potluck party consisting primarily of me and several attractive women. Even though I'll almost certainly be inviting a girlfriend to go with me: bonus! The cooking class gets significant kudos in my book.

Probably going to try to start boot camp again next week. I'll have to see how pathetically out of shape I am. It'll be good to know in any case.

The Crucible hasn't put out its fall schedule yet so I don't know if they'll have glassblowing on a weekend. That'd be really cool, though, it'd mean I could take that class next. I'd also consider welding, more blacksmithing or more sculpting. Hell, maybe even stonecarving -- I'd need to find out if I was good enough to take it. I'm in a lull for classes right now and while I plan to enjoy it, I'd also like to figure out what I'm doing next.

Dude, glassblowing!
There's a glassblowing studio down the street from me, and I've dropped in and asked the guy where one goes to learn glassblowing. According to him, most people end up apprenticing and then working with an existing glassblower, and no, he wasn't taking any applications.

There's a glass blowing class here that I thought about taking this winter, but I decided to take a stained glass class instead, and even that I won't be able to take until our house is remodeled.

But I sort of wonder, I only had like 2 months of working where I wasn't a student. How many personal edification classes can a full time job having adult take? I want to take at least one yoga and one belly dancing a week. How the hell am I going to fit in a rotating non-exercise class? What happens when I have kids, though, I should jam them all in now!

That's kinda how I feel -- it's not really that I have time to do what I do, it's that someday I'll be old or have kids or start a business or otherwise have no spare time for several consecutive years. When that happens, I'd better have done a lifetime's worth.

Given how lackluster most lifetimes are, maybe I've already succeeded. I'm not stopping because of anything as minor as that, though :-)
