I set an alarm so I would not sleep through the initial signup. I can't wait!


RE: Basketball: A Master Class with Tara - WBB fan - 12-03-2024

Just signed up! I'm going to do the virtual option, which won't be quite as wonderful, but didn't want to add another bunch of roundtrips from SF to Stanford and back. We do that enough! 

Really looking forward to this!

Just saw this due to an untimely hip replacement operation.
The in-person class is full with a waiting list.
The online only option is still available. (duh)
