		<description><![CDATA[How do I end up in a pet dragon contest when I&#8217;m supposed to be coteaching a consensus workshop in Philadelphia? My life is like a road movie, just a string of random randomness.
Having postponed a workshop in Philadelphia, C.T. and I found ourselves with time to volunteer for and attend the St. George Day [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I never would have come up with this one on my own. But as I have found my way through the rivers of people in New York City, I&#8217;ve discovered that owners of dogs, particularly small dogs, travel the sidewalks and subways with their pets in purses, totes and, get ready for it, doggie strollers.

		<description><![CDATA[How did we come up with the idea for a toolbox summer camp? C.T. Butler and I have been exploring how Intentional Communities and other groups succeed and how they understand (or often misunderstand) consensus. The idea of a &#8220;toolbox,&#8221; which members regularly update and use to build new culture, solve conflicts and grow as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my world, Permaculture education and comedic Lesbian folk music are a luscious combination, like chocolate and peanut butter. Remember those Reese&#8217;s commercials in which one person is walking down the street eating a chocolate bar and someone is walking towards them eating from a jar of peanut butter and they&#8217;re both so self absorbed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing that is the same at Heathcote, my Intentional Community, as in the wider world is our tendency to over-schedule and over-commit.
It&#8217;s a predictable comedy when we whip out our calendars at meetings and try to find a date for any outing, celebration or committee work. We&#8217;re certain to settle on some compromise date [...]]]></description>

Well, actually, your friends might relish that power. Anyway, welcome to the alien terrain in which my partner and I find ourselves. I live at Heathcote Community and in [...]]]></description>
