What Do You Want to Learn?
I've Moved! The Boomer Chronicles has closed after 6 years, but you can keep up with me on my new blog at http://www.rheabecker.com
It’s interesting living in a college town like Boston. Around this time of year, everything turns to college. The arrival of a new class of freshmen can be exciting but it can also lead one to review one’s life, even if you are not a college student and in fact may have graduated some 30 years ago. Personally, I believe in learning all your life. Here is what I intend to learn this (academic) year:
Continue with my violin lessons
Take a cooking class (maybe ethnic)
Maybe take another bike repair class and actually try to change a tire by myself
And you? What would you like to learn this year?

I would like to learn how to do some things around the house, but more important learn how to be better at budgeting and paying down credit cards!

I want to go back to school to become a middle school English teacher!
I also want to learn more about my student loans but I fear that may be a lost cause….

I’ve been giving a good effort to learning Chinese since I moved to Shanghai in January. I’d like to continue studying, even after I leave China for my next destination (wherever that may be).
I’d also love to learn to dance – really dance. If I wind up in Buenos Aires next year, I’ll give the tango a go. Or perhaps I’ll try flamenco in Spain. It’s fun to think about it anyway
