Richard,

If you want to get up to speed in a hurry and shave at least a year off 
your learning process, get yourself on a plane to Denver Wednesday 
(Travelocity shows a $525 roundtrip from Logan, or look for the weekly 
specials typically posted by mainly airlines Wednesday AM for Thursday 
travel; or start driving today).

Bop up to Boulder and come to Professional's Day Thursday and a workshop 
on Friday (perhaps Chuck and Jim's one on World-Class Design to add 
value) and the national cohousing conference for the rest of the weekend.

There won't be anything like this for the next two years and you can meet 
others doing exactly this right now.
