A Philadelphian’s Guide to Learning … Anything

In an Hour or Less

Shoot a gun
Because it’s empowering. Because it’s fun. Because you read Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Whatever your reason, Philadelphia Archery and Gun Club’s NRA-certified instructors will walk you through safety rules; help you with your stance, grip and trigger pull; and finish up with a round or two at the club’s indoor shooting range.
THE TIME: Most beginner lessons take about an hour, but your teacher­ will stick with it until you can shoot.
THE TAB: $65 for one private lesson.

Read tarot
Reading tarot is a bit like being an accountant: You need to know how to deal with anxious people, possess a strong eye for detail, and be able to bullshit your way out when the news is bad. Read the rest of Michael Callahan’s essay about learning to read tarot here.
