Mrs. Spookyblue and I enjoyed teaching a digital photography class for them some years back, and the itch never really went away.<\/p>\n<p>The director lady in charge of arranging such things, herself a haunt fiend, loves the idea of a Halloween theme.  However, there are no available indoor facilities in which to hold the class over the summer.  If the class is to be held, it would start in mid-September.<\/p>\n<p>A two-hour class, held once a week for four weeks, would finish up right smack in the middle of final preparations for Spooky Hollow&#8217;s opening night.  Right now my brain tells me to do it, but the question becomes: In what condition will the ol&#8217; noggin be come October 15?  (Heh&#8230; I&#8217;m reminded of a scene from &#8220;Animal House&#8221;, that is totally inappropriate for this venue, in which Larry&#8217;s good and evil sides battle over what to do about the drunk girl, Clorette, passed out on Larry&#8217;s bed.)<\/p>\n<p>Who am I kidding?  I&#8217;ll probably do it.  There&#8217;ll be time to sleep when I&#8217;m dead.  In any case, if there are any interested minions within driving distance of Clarksville, Indiana, here&#8217;s your head&#8217;s up.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><em>No, I&#8217;m <strong>not<\/strong> posting it here.  You&#8217;ll have to look it up yourself on IMDB.  If you don&#8217;t know the scene, or you&#8217;ve never heard of &#8220;Animal House&#8221;, then you&#8217;re probably too young for such things anyway.
