Weekday events of note, 11/28-12/1:

Hello!  Had a nice Thanksgiving?  Here are a few interesting things to do this week, before the Holiday Machine that is December makes mad men and women of us all.  

(My tip for getting through the holidays?  Bundle up, take a long walk in one of our gorgeous state parks, and drink in the natural stillness.  Never fails to add some reality to the holiday-addled brain.  Like: "Oh yeah, not everything revolves around the holidays.  There's still this big, beautiful world that goes on living and knows nothing of Target 2 Day Sales and juggling family visits and neighbors who put up Christmas lights before Thanksgiving".  Fill a thermos with coffee and Grand Marnier, if it helps).

Presenting on a subject of their choice, speakers have exactly five minutes to teach something, enlighten us, or simply inspire". Speakers include non-profit directors, Food Network writers, former NPR personalities, and museum curators.  Interesting People with Things To Say, in other words.  I like this idea.  More info.
