How about an online HTML course
or
You could spend about 8 hours on the phone with tech support because your computer betrayed you right before classes started!
And
One thing I find particularly helpful is browsing online or in my gardening books and catalogs and planning for spring, which I consider my New Year.
Some favorite quotes:
Mary Cantwell

And a little humor:

Mark Twain
An Afterthought
Surely someone will relate to this. I describe my style of gardening as Kamikaze gardening. I sometimes feel like the Tazmanian Devil as I zoom around the yard. This, of course, comes from trying to do everything in a very short timeframe. My goal is to use the kamikaze approach for the mundane chores, such as mowing, trimming, and clean-up; to aim for a more gentle approach to the layout and care of the actual inhabitants of this small space on our planet. I can't think of anything better for the soul than to dig in the dirt, getting your hands covered with it (no gloves for this!), planting a favorite rose, clematis, or that herb you've been trying to find forever, and watching the transformation take place!
