since we are way off topic wise, anyone could suggest a good Spanish
language course in Santa Clara county? my high-school Spanish is
quite a bit rusted and I wouldn't mind getting back to learning it.

I don't know about courses in that area, but at the very least get the
tapes out of the library and start there. It's free, and it can't hurt.
You'd be surprised by what comes back.
