stepping out

an important part of using less is relocalization of my life. that means not only eating local and "buying american" (which there was a fun article about in the ny times yesterday), but also building a community structure where i am. while i know my neighbors by name and all, it would be nice to expand my people-base and make some more personal connections outside of my small section of 71st street.

to this end, i have a couple of new groups that i'll be exploring in the coming week. the first is a contra dance on saturday with the country dance new york group. i haven't been to a proper contra in a very long time, and i miss it. i miss the music and the dance, and i think i'm at a point where i could do the socialization a bit better, too. the other one is a peak oil meetup group that i joined yesterday whose monthly meeting is this coming wednesday. exciting!
