That makes at least 3 groups (including US!) that I know are breaking ground
in May.  Is it something in the stars??  Our celebration is May 3.  Then
there's Ann Arbor, and Wasatch (Hi John and Marty!) We've had our new name of
Two Acre Wood for a few weeks now and it seems to be fitting well.  

The stress and pressure, however, are at an all time high.  I had my first
melt-down in a meeting last weekend.  Any helpful suggestions from veterans
out there on what to do when everyone is too busy and stressed out to support
each-other?  I'm having a bit of a hard time remembering the benefits of
community at the moment when we're all so over-loaded and financially
pressed, etc.  It's especially hard as a single person with no one at home to
plan and rant and rave with.  It does get better, doesn't it??
