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
