Chess
"We learn by chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favourable change, and that of persevering in search of resources." --Benjamin Franklin
I enjoy chess and believe it to be a useful tool for expanding the intlellect and keeping the brain active and healthy.
You can learn the basics of chess in a single session and hone your skills over a lifetime. chess is played all around the world, and each country has its own variations in style and technique. There are also hundreds of variant rulesets.
Here's the pattern I use for teaching chess:
Starting Out
The Ten Moves
Queening
Zones of control, or protection
Check and checkmate
Forking
Sacrifices
Gambits
Variant games

Learn-together Program
Sometimes, a companion along the path of learning is sufficient. If you need help with something I haven't listed, please ask about it. I have more knowledge than I've listed, and even if it's not something I know well, my life experience and strengths in other areas make me well suited to offer insights and guidance for a broad range of topics. I even offer a special program for this. I'll guide you through the learning process with my knowledge and experience at a discounted rate.
