Cohousing?

19 May 2008, 11:45 pm. 6 Comments. Filed under College, Education.

I’m work­ing on my final project for the tech­ni­cal writ­ing course, which is a com­par­i­son of cohous­ing devel­op­ments to single-​​family and more tra­di­tional multi-​​family hous­ing. I’m find­ing it dif­fi­cult to find any of the books I want to use as ref­er­ences in the library (school or two coun­ties). Do any of you who are local hap­pen to have books on the sub­ject? Copies of Com­mu­ni­ties mag­a­zine, maybe? I’d appre­ci­ate a chance to look at such things rather than need­ing to buy them via Amazon!

Is any­body cel­e­brat­ing that this year? I’m out of touch with the pagan crowd any more. I think the St. Patrick’s Day parade here in Atlanta was can­celed because of the tor­nado Sat­ur­day. I was at home all day, so I didn’t bother wear­ing green or even think­ing about it. One of the “daily quote” emails I received included this bit of wisdom:

Never iron a four-​​leaf clover, because you don’t want to press your luck.

I have no idea how I got there, but I found myself read­ing Stuff White Peo­ple Like. I’d never heard of it before, but from the num­ber of com­ments on every post, I must be in the minor­ity!

Melange by Calico Crossroads
This weekend’s Stitch­ing Blog­gers Ques­tion:

Are there other crafts that you have tried and aban­doned? Why do you like stitch­ing better?
