This is a crazy idea I have.  To create a kind of virtual, old-fashioned neighborhood of friends to do stuff with when its more fun to be with someone than alone.

Purpose: Create horizontal community that transcends age and interests.  Community for the sake of community.  There is nothing wrong w …

There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracti …

Such absence is all the more detrimental if the other side is versed in what works in negotiating. But, this is …

Attention: Tea Lovers of East Bay. Finally, a group in the East Bay that cares about tea, pastries, coffee, and other things. We are a group of rebels who do not take tea lightly; we could... but we don't! This group is about enjoying a good cup of tea in the company of others who appreciate a good cup of tea. We stand or sit for freedom and pastries, with a good cup of tea (or coffee) in our hands, in good company. There may also be conversations, preferably, about nothing in particular.
