Shakespeare, Ralph Fiennes & comfort zones (yeah, it’s a little off topic)

Music and Movies, just cause it’s Friday
This post has nothing to do with life learning, or unschooling, or education. Except you might learn about some music or movies with which you weren’t previously familiar. Or not. Believe it or not, there are days when I don’t … Continue reading
