I may stir things up from time to time, but my intention is not to just
watch the sparks fly.  I have a number of questions and concerns about
cohousing and how it relates to me.

I'm not a cohousing resident - yet.  This will change.  I'm not sure
exactly how, where or when, but I will make it happen.

Anyway, when I don't have a splitting headache, I expect I'll post a
number of fairly detailed questions.  In the meantime, one of the concepts
that I have is to create an environment that allows and ecourages various
types if "things" to happen.  I'd love to hear what others have seen and
done.
