XP Windows PC – Classic Desktop for Personal Use
This old XP computer is a nostalgic gem that still runs smooth. Great for light office work, retro gaming, or teaching kids about computing history. I’ll make sure it’s clean and functional before you borrow it.
Camping Trip Planning -- Hidden Gems of Western Sicily
I grew up in these roads. Tell me how many days and what you like -- beaches, ruins, wine, or all three -- and I'll plan your route with campsites, wild spots (shh), best restaurants, and fuel stops. Includes offline maps and my personal phone number for when you inevitably get lost in Segesta at sunset.
Nonna Rosa's Babysitting -- Ages 2-10, Snacks Included
I raised 6 children and 14 grandchildren. None of them went to prison. That's my resume. Your kids will eat homemade biscotti, learn three Sicilian words (one of them rude), and come home tired enough to sleep through the night. No tablets, no TV -- just stories, games, and a garden full of lizards to chase.
Baking with Sally -- Learn to Make Sicilian Cookies
I've been baking Sicilian cookies for 20 years. Amaretti, biscotti, chocolate chip -- the real recipes, not the shortcut ones. My kitchen, my rules, my playlist. Full day course: 8am to 6pm. You bring the appetite, I bring the flour. Currently mentoring Sofia Ferretti -- she's 17 and already better than me at biscotti. Next class: Saturday March 7, 2026.
Saracen Cavalry Training -- Desert Horsemanship
Arabian horse riding, hit-and-run tactics, desert warfare. At Hattin I cut the Crusaders off from water and let the sun finish the job. Tip: In the desert, water is strategy. Control the wells, control the battle.
Healthcare Leadership -- Fighting Bureaucracy
Small group (max 5). How to reform a system from within. Build alliances, collect irrefutable data, present visually, lobby relentlessly, and never take no from someone who lacks the authority to say yes.
Zulu Warrior Fitness -- Barefoot Conditioning
Barefoot running, shield drills, stick fighting, distance marches. My impis covered 50 miles in a day on bare feet and arrived ready to fight. Modern shoes made your feet weak. This program fixes that. Tip: Pain is information. Listen to it, then decide what to do with it.
Impi Formation Drill -- Bull Horn Tactics
Group training (12-20 people). The bull horn formation: the chest pins the enemy, the left and right horns encircle. The loins wait in reserve facing away so they do not grow anxious. Commands by runner. We drill barefoot -- I threw away my warriors' sandals. Tip: A warrior who cannot run 50 miles cannot fight.
Scorched Earth Strategy Seminar -- Denial Operations
When to burn your own land to starve the enemy. The hardest strategic decision. Case studies: my campaign against Caesar, Russia against Napoleon, Russia against Hitler. Tip: Scorched earth works when your enemy's supply line is longer than yours. It fails when your people lose faith before the enemy loses food.
Comedy Timing Workshop -- The Art of the Pause
Comedy lives in the silence between lines. I teach you where to breathe, where to look, and where to let the audience catch up. We study Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes frame by frame. Tip: If you're rushing the punchline, you don't trust the joke.
Prop Weapons Collection (Breakaway Chairs, Rubber Bottles, Foam Pipes)
Sugar glass bottles, balsa wood chairs, foam pipes, rubber bricks -- everything you need for a prop fight scene. I've used more chairs as weapons than any actor in history. They break beautifully on camera and barely sting in person. Barely.
Acrobatics Fundamentals -- Flips, Rolls, and Wall Runs
Peking Opera trained me in acrobatics from age six. I teach forward rolls, backward rolls, cartwheels, wall runs, and basic flips -- all on safety mats. You don't need to be young. You need to be willing. Sammo Hung and I still warm up with these moves. Tip: Your hands and feet should never land at the same time.
