As I've previously stated, I really enjoy these Graham School talks. Should I ever find a way for it to make sense financially, I will enroll in the Basic program.

At some point I will sign-up for the Basic Program. Until such time I will continue to enjoy the FREE conversations. Yesterday's was very good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgCt5a6zQV0

I will purchase Michael Roth's book, and perhaps a Graham School sweatshirt, just because.

I have enjoyed freeloading on with the Graham School Free lectures for a while now.

I am looking forward to "Life After Power

Join us for a conversation with bestselling author Jared Cohen exploring how seven former U.S. Presidents engaged life and work after the presidency."

More exciting to me, I finally enrolled to begin the Basic Program of Liberal Education

Classes begin in March. It's all about life-long learning. Non-credit, no assignments, no exams. It's just sort of a Book Club for adults.

In the meantime. I have been enjoying classes via Zoom from the Unite States Institute of Peace.

So...I really enjoyed my first Basic Program Zoom session yesterday. I am in a cohort with a dozen people. This 10 week quarter will continue through May. This quarter, Year One spring-2024, we are reading and discussing:

Machiavelli,The Prince;
Hobbes, [i]Leviathan;[/i]
[i]Rousseau, First and [i]Second Discourse;[/i][/i]
[i]hakespeare, [i]The Tempest; and[/i][/i]
[i][i]Shakespeare, [i]Othello.[/i][/i][/i]

[i][i][i]I've wanted to enroll this program for a few years. I am loving it already. It's all about liberal education for the sake of life-long learning.   [/i][/i][/i]
