I’ve wanted to write down some of the things I’ve learned. This list is not exhaustive, nor is it in any particular order. It includes things I like as well as things I’ve done. Some of these things carry no title or certification, and are just things I learned without regard to how deeply I learned them.

I still want to learn how to sail, sing more karaoke, bake bread, oven making, bartender, bouncer, air ambulance, firefighter.

These pages are not about you. I write to remember and to remind myself what I learned. If you see something above that you too want to learn, I’d be happy to do that thing with you.
