Luke was just given a set of children's golf clubs. I thought it might be fun for he and I to take some lessons together as I've had a set of clubs for ten years and never learned to play. So I call a place that offers family golf instruction. They do their classes on Wednesday evenings. On Wednesday evenings, Luke also has: Cub Scouts, Weapons Class at Karate, Word of Life Club at church, swim meets during the summer, soccer practice in the fall, etc... Why does everything have to fall on Wednesday? There are 4 other weekdays out there, for crying out loud. |

LD, my program requires you to take 3 core classes, three electives and 3 are reserved your last semester for your project, whatever you decide it's going to be. There are about 18 possible electives you can take. What choice, right? I was real excited looking through the list, trying to decide on which ones I wanted. I was very interested in about 8 of them but finally narrowed my list down to 3. Then I checked the times. I got into 2 out of those 8. That's it. 40% of the ****ing classes here are taught Wednesday nights, from 6 to 9 pm. One of which is a core class, so you HAVE to fill that timeslot up, so no go for ALL electives taught Wednesday nights (which is 9 of them. Yeah. 9.) I ****ing hate the scheduling here. |

LD, I would think you'd be able to find more places. NoVa is a big market after all. |

Not that it's any of my business...but it's a little early to be teaching Luke how to properly swear after a bad golf shot, while slamming your club into the ground and keeping an eye out for that "I hope she's 18 years old" cart girl to come around to provide you with some more liquid talent. Again, not really my business, my apologies if I stepped on any toes here. |

There are lots of places for Golf Instruction, but only one in my area that offers Family Instruction. |

Just a thought, go in there and ask the guy if he'd start another class on a different night if you could enlist a few others. Maybe Luke's buddies and their dads are interested. |

You just don't live far enough down South. Wednesday nights are always a bit sparse...it's prayer meeting night, you know... |
