Hi All,

I certainly hope that there are not too many members who have signed up for this. Most you you know that I should really learn some skills and individualized attention would be best for me. Having said that, all of you who think that you already have all the skills you need may want to sign up for the clinic so that you can show off by helping Brenna and Matt teach me a skill or two. I would like to focus on "how to avoid crashing" because at my age.....

Fingers crossed that I will have the full attention of many teachers tomorrow and for the following two weeks.
