Yes, technology is the primordial mixed blessing, isn't it? We are sharing and connecting more in some ways, but less in others. Think Facebook....... I live in Carrboro- not SO far from Durham, but trying to stay true to less driving. I'll be with you in spirit and use your example to start more of it here! Namaste, Tao Thanks for responding, Lanya — I would love to see some photos from your gatherings and use them in posts.

Last night's freezer party (aka the potluck that keeps on giving) was terrific. Glad that you like our approach! We definitely formed Traction in response to the Bowling Alone phenomenon, which is exacerbated by all the time we spend online. Couldn't agree more that "bringing faces, voices and ideas together is where the real inspiration lives." Thanks again, and hope to see you at a Traction event soon!

If you could get 10 people together in such a fashion, with a topic, or activity, would it be ass verbose as a web-blog? This week, I am going to rent a rabbit suit, and make a sign, ONLY ANIMALS SHOULD WEAR FUR, walk up and down in front of a local furrier retail. Any interest?
