I've decided to give Eagle a try. Any suggestions on good tutorials for a guy who only does a few boards a year?

Then again, you might consider DipTrace.

I would suggest diptrace, much easy to use and has a free version also.

You can even import boards and components made from eagle with it

In between the difficulty of Eagle and simplicity of ExpressPCB, there is ABACOM SPRINT LAYOUT and SPLAN products.

There's nothing like a new idea and a warm soldering iron.

I would highly recommend checking out westfw's eagle tutorials on instructables. The first tutorial is on drawing schematics and the second is on doing the actual layout.

Sparkfun.com has some Eagle tutorials as well. With your experience JonnyMac you can probably breeze over some of the electric circuit details and focus on how to use the program.
