So here's the plan at this point:
at the end of november, take a train from seattle to berkeley
after x days in berkeley, start making my way down the west coast, stopping in at as many communes as possible
try to make it to mom's house for xmas
january 22 is nathaniel's wedding in casa grande, az
spend a few days in tucson
my march, make it to east tennessee
- hopefully visit linnaea and her ex
- hopefully scott, leslie, charles, adrienne & valerie will be able to come along
other than that, it is just a matter of moving from collective to collective, learning and contributing as possible
