As I recall, two years ago the T&G's Dianne Williamson offered a writing course. It wasn’t repeated. Heard the school department couldn’t afford her, wanted big bucks cause she works for the award winning T&G. Ahem... now they want the big bucks for doing the night school circuit. Hey, did ya know the ole girl recently won a NEN&PA award for Serious Columnist. Seriously? Ya think they made that category up for her? Don’t recall seeing it before.
Anyway. It’s that time of the year and Night Life is offering really interesting stuff: bread-making, basket-making, how to make pizza... stuff to pep-up your resume. Even got a Learn to Play the Harmonica course. Now that would be sumptin for Bill Randell. And even got a Irish Tin Whistle course, sumptin for Paulie Collyer. Imagine Bill & Paulie doing a duet at NOLA 2012. Hey guys, how about doin Stairway to Heaven?
Been thinking about a second job; maybe offering my services to Night Life. Got a few courses in mind:
- Managing your public image on the Internet
- How to blog and win sycophants
- How to manage a bi-weekly newspaper in the digital age
- Practicing civility on the Internet
- How to achieve and maintain credibility on the Internet
A funny thing. That picture of Dianne in the T&G, next to her column. Well my grandfather said that's the same picture they been using for the past 30 years. Time just stands still in Wusta eh?
