Let's move on from adult skills 101 to the intermediate classes

So, you've figured out the washing machine, got your bill-pay system in place, and learned how insurance (is supposed to) work.

Great! Now let's add a couple of things!

Say you're at some function or restaurant with a family member. Someone comes up out of the blue and gives you the old "Phil? Phil! I thought that was you!". When you get to that BING moment, take a second to introduce whoever you're with. It's simple, just "Ohh! Ned! This is my spouse So-n-so, (spouse) this is Ned Ryerson." Then you con continue on with your reminisce about that bad case of singles as long as you want, and your family member won't feel like a dummy.

What else should we put on the syllabus?
