Thank you Raines for pointing this out.  I agree there is a connection
with cohousing of some sort.  I've been following the timeday planning
for a year or so but have not found time to do much about it :)  I guess
the first step is to recognize a problem.

BTW there's other connections thru people that I am aware of.  A friend 
of mine and one of the originators Timeday, John DeGraaf, also produced 2 
public tv shows on "affluenza".  One of these shows featured a segment 
at On Going Concerns cohousing in Portland. 

Dave Wann of Harmony Village cohousing, is editing the book _Stories
from Cohousing_ (Fulcrum, 2004).  He also edited the book on affluenza.

I think there are connections between timeday, affluenza issues and
cohousing.  Could someone explain those connections better? 

Fred
