Classes have been great. Thanks everyone

So much fun

I taught four classes last week and hosted two morning coffees. It is so wonderful to be teaching classes again. To see members from different classes and friends, and even my cousin "show up" for class.  It has been such a delight - It is a comfort to be in touch, albeit online. Thanks to those who took the leap. Thanks for your patience.  

Behind the scenes, the classes require a little ingenuity, with, say, the music sound system, some trial and error with the microphone and camera and some hard learning connecting up to Zoom. Through my errors and missteps there are lots of lesson for me. Ogni sbaglio e' un relago,in Italiano means every mistake is a gift. 

As I learn more, I can assist others to connect up. It is not my strong suit, but we are getting there.  A big thank you to Don, who is calm in a crisis, and an amazing problem solver.  He even participated in Friday's class.
Getting together is so important.  So next week I am scheduling a morning coffee together, online after class.  I will leave an interval of time - around 15 minutes for everyone to take a break.  Then I schedule a new meeting and I turn on your microphones and we can have a coffee and a chat together. 

If you enjoyed the class,I hope you spread the word amongst fellow class members. We might be in this stay-home situation for months, so let's make the best of it.
