I received the Texas Union

I received the Texas Union Informal Classes catalogue and am tempted by two courses. One is Portuguese (beginning and intermediate conversation) and the other is Dog Obedience. The dillema that I have is that Madrigal Dinner rehearsals are going to conflict with one or the other.

I could have Jennifer do the Dog Obedience by herself, but if music rehearsals are on Tue/Thu then I'd have a real conflict. I think it would be awesome if I had some portuguese before we go to Brazil - I don't want to be a loud talking yankee tourist. Besides, I haven't learned another language in over a decade and I'd like to see if I'm still able to. At least um pouquinho!
