Summer is gone... A Goodness Collective update!


And so it was that the Goodness Collective spent its first summer... Fall term is nearly complete. The house is beautiful (Kelly cleaned the bathroom and Ashley the kitchen). We have a large potluck on Dec. 16 to expose Trav's girlfriend Emily to the Bend community. David Bowers has offered to play a set here for us. I think we'll accept! There has also been a recent art installation as well. Artists, Ashley Stone and Chelsea Jolly contributed.

A film crew was here, and we did what we had spoken of in jest, and what I (Steve) secretly desired! A night of G.C. reality Tv. They are following Rachel Scdoris through her preparation and ultimately the completion of the Iditarod.

Josh will be leaving us soon. There will likely be no replacement of GOOFY, we shall simply not have them! His farewell will take place at Edgefield in Portland where a crew of Bendites and Portlanders have been invited by Trav and Emily to join them for a night.

Ethan has left us, he intends to travel to India where, not surprisingly, he will be practicing rigorous yoga for many hours a day. He left us all very precious gifts. A part of which is a cd of the Summer here. He took the photos below.

Its been raining and quite windy here. A tree fell across Portland Ave. this morning. Had it been in my path to school I would have ramped it with my scooter.

And tonight, the house has a peaceful settled air about it... Josh Ritter sings a nostalgic tune. Travis has just started a fire, and Tex has completed what Trav insists shall be the official flag of the house. We're home, we are peaceful, and we send love to those of you in far-away lands: Allen and Brent!

This just in: Ashley Stone has arrived with my early Christmas present. It was inspired by my Grinch performance in acting class! She came to my class with me. It is a full green furry suit with amazing cuffs and a fantastic hood!
