This is just a short note to bring people up to date on my happenings. 

First, I have successfully located to Minnesota.  Yeah!  I love this state.  I now live in a small progressive college town in southern Minnesota.  Even though the town has only 35,000 residents there is a LOT to do.  I have been here less than two months and have: 1) join the community gardens; 2) meditated with real Buddhist monks; 3) attended a conference on community food security; 4) heard Barbara Ehrenreich (of “Nickel and Dimed” fame) speak; 5) attended a past life regression workshop; 6) seen the pop rock group Ok Go play live; 7) joined a yoga studio; joined a food-coop; 9) attended a march to bring awareness to global warming; and the list goes on and on.  This Saturday, I am planning to attend a dinner where Al Franken will be speaking.  And on Sunday, I am attending an animal communication workshop.

The presentation proposal I submitted on the role of libraries in a post peak oil world, is a no go.  I was disappointed to not be selected, but I think I can use this as an opportunity to tighten my proposal.  I did some research today and have discover lots of library buildings are going green.  I think the greening of libraries would make a good article topic.  Someone actually has written article with that title. 

That’s all for now.

Namaste,
Swan
