    Just Call Me Rodney Dangerfield

    Well wife and I took the plunge yesterday and enrolled in college....We had been looking at it for a while and the time just seems right.....We are taking courses for our business degree through a local college, two year deal....Actually looking forward to starting classes and brushing up on some of the stuff from accounting and so on.

    Should be interesting since it has been a very long time since I was in school :eek:

    Wife and I watched Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts a couple of weeks ago. Not his best but worth a buck at Redbox...might get you in the swing of things.

    Good Lord prepare to have your message box blown up lol....Math was always my weakest point in school....Not so much the standard stuff but the higher levels really messed with my gray matter.

    I went back to college after retiring from the military. I think my first math instructor was in kindergarten the last time I took a math class. Takes so getting used too, but worth it.

    We decided to go with the evening online only classes to help.....The reason why we chose this college is because they are very flexible with the class schedules, making it much easier on those that are continuing to work while trying to go to school at the same time. I told everyone I know to not bother trying to reach me after 6 each evening because my old brain is going to be concentrating and any distraction could derail my thought process for a week lol

    You are probably right lol....I have several friends who have already said they plan to call just to get my goat LMAO....Several of them said they would just come over and I put a stop to that by telling them that I would answer the door naked :-)
