Clinton Fireworks 2008.

Just some of the fireworks from last evening in Clinton, Illinois…

To the people who do the fireworks. Please, next year, move away from this cell phone tower!

What I’m learning, Part 1-American Sign Language!

In an effort to overcome a fairly serious anxiety about meeting and talking with people in public, I’ve decided to get out of the house and take some continuing ed classes at the local community college!

I hope I can share here a little bit about what I’m learning. Right now, I’m taking classes in pottery (which is really more just a fun brushing-up class since I took several pottery semester when I was originally in college) and a class in American Sign Language.

Man, have I discovered I am not at all dexterous.

At any rate, here’s a neat video I’m using to help me practice fingerspelling.
