I flunked my reading Italian class at the U of MN because I was just taking it for fun and already had 4 degrees and had studied a number of other languages but I can read most of that fairly well. And not for NOTHING.

I did pass German and Dutch at the U of MN and got the award for Best Reader of French at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Had taken a year of Spanish during a few nights each week at the College of San Mateo in CA.

And audited Chinese, Japanese and Russian at the U of MN too.

This work does help me on FunTrivia when they start throwing in questions about various words in one of these languages.

Cool. You got in a NOTHING and a movie clip.

I used to drive around Lake Tahoe rather often. Quite a beautiful drive when you drive all the way around it.

I just found Nucky’s answer to the question I asked him this morning.

Woo! Took me a few pages to find it.

Sometimes this thread goes so fast, it’s nothing but a blur.

Anyway, finally found it and was happy to hear — er, read his answer, and that he really liked his English teacher and the class.

About high school typing class though — ug — nothing ever made a difference. No matter what I did, I could never get past 35 wpm. Can’t remember what a good wpm was. I just know it was not within my range of even a remote possibility.

It was nothing but miraculous though when later on while going to school, I met a fine man in one of my classses. He was going to school on the GI Bill. That man had an IBM Selectric typewriter. I could knock out papers, first draft, final copy — all-in-one. That man changed my life.
