MIH, I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this one.
It's very expensive, but there is absolutely no better skill to learn than flying. If you can afford it, the fun and freedom it provides are unparalleled. It's also quite practical if you have to travel a lot. Which would be better—sit around in an airport for hours going through luggage checks and security, or hop into a nice Cessna and go at your convenience? :approve:

i was considering taking a class on music comp. a lot of the time when i write, i just get lucky. although, I am writing for marching percussion; battery and front ensemble.

Thats mostly why I want to take classes for music. I am largely self taught and I think I've reached a point where I need a teacher to help me along the way. I've already enrolled for the classical guitar classes and they start in Jan. I am just waiting for my exams to get over (22nd December) before I start jamming and gigging with my band again!

I took astronomy and a few survival classes, which were really very fun. One of the young people I work with is taking a flirting class, called Social Interaction. She told me they spent the entire first week on winking and other eye motions.:wink:

I think I would be scared to death to try flying lessons, but some of my friends really, really love it. One of them has his own airplane and he calls it his "sanity machine".
