Winter: The winter nights can be long especially when the sun is setting at 4 pm and it’s too cold to be outside. One way to stay busy is to check out Adult Education classes in your area. Many Adult Ed classes are offered at your local high schools and range from wood working classes to knitting. These classes are a fun way to join other people in learning something new and may help fight off the winter doldrums in the process. The classes are usually reasonably priced and often times the winter schedule includes a wider variety of classes. If Kitchen Gardening, Hacking the Web or International Folk Dancing sparks your interest then you may want to check your local Adult Ed schedule and see what you can do!
