Hokon Cazalet: It's been a while since I've been here; how has the group been doing?
Wol Euler: we are active still, but moving away from the purely meditative orientation
Wol Euler: there is a dream circle, a book reading club, and at the moment the annual art project has just started
Hokon Cazalet: cool ツ
Hokon Cazalet: what times do you all meet? I remember 1am but forgot the others

Wol Euler: to be honest, my own involvement has shrunk a lot in the last few years, work is overwhelming
Hokon Cazalet: sorry to hear that
Wol Euler: for formal sessions here, there is a signboard below with all the active times per week
Hokon Cazalet: oh! I'll have to find that
Wol Euler: most of the events meet at one or the other of the "usual times"
Wol Euler: 1am 7am 1pm 7pm
Hokon Cazalet: ah ok 7am/pm
Wol Euler: if you go down the stairs behind you, you'll find the notices
Hokon Cazalet: found them =)
Wol Euler smiles.
Hokon Cazalet: looks like I'll just be here saturday, the rest of my week is pretty busy
Hokon Cazalet: Well thank you for your help =)
Wol Euler: of course :)

Wol Euler: how have you been?
Hokon Cazalet: I've been doing well, I finally got into grad school, studying phenomenology :D
Wol Euler: oh well done! congratulations <3
Hokon Cazalet: thanks ツ
Wol Euler: I wish you every success with that
Hokon Cazalet: :D
Hokon Cazalet: I got several years to go, but I'll get there
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: years go by so quickly ... Berti and I were just talking about a RL meetup we both attended, which was in 2011. Seven years ago! how can that be?
Hokon Cazalet: hehe
Hokon Cazalet: yup, time is flying by
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: so, you'll be through Grad school before you get your chair really warmed up
Hokon Cazalet: hehe ツ
Hokon Cazalet: grad school is going by quickly, the past two years seem to have been just months ago
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I certainly know that feeling

Hokon Cazalet: I like this design, for the place

--BELL--

Wol Euler: oh, you have been away for a while :) it's been a few years now
Hokon Cazalet: Yup, I've been away at other projects in sl, as they come and go.
Wol Euler nods.
Hokon Cazalet: I'll be happy to get back and involved with this one again, I'll have to drop by later today, see who else is still hanging around.
Wol Euler: I think today might be the book club meeting, unless there is a formal meeting scheduled for here?
Wol Euler: ah yes
Wol Euler: Stevenaia
Hokon Cazalet: ツ
Wol Euler: and Bruce at 1pm
Hokon Cazalet: Yup

Wol Euler: I never come to the 1pm on Saturdays, because it conflicts with my oldest and most-loved engagement in SL
Hokon Cazalet: oh? what is it?
Wol Euler: a dance and conversation meeting
Hokon Cazalet: cool ツ
Wol Euler: talking about geeky things mostly, and food
Hokon Cazalet: yum
Wol Euler: with exellent music
Wol Euler: and lovely people many of whom I know in RL
Hokon Cazalet: that's awesome
Wol Euler: it's run by a pair who met here, then moved in together and got married in RL

Wol Euler: I was at their physical wedding
Hokon Cazalet: ツ
Wol Euler: in their back yard, with homemade vows and a trampoline and waterpistols and margaritas
Wol Euler smiles.
Hokon Cazalet: hehe
Wol Euler: not trampoline, a really big hammock thing
Wol Euler: imagine a semi-rigid hammock for four people
Hokon Cazalet: ooo
Wol Euler: it was like bathing in hugs there, I loved it
Hokon Cazalet: aw
Wol Euler: that must be nearly ten years ...
Hokon Cazalet: oh wow
Hokon Cazalet: ツ
Wol Euler: happy times :)
Hokon Cazalet: Sounds like it
Wol Euler smiles.

Wol Euler: anyway, I've been going there since longer than this avatar has been in SL :)
Hokon Cazalet: ツ

--BELL--

Hokon Cazalet: Well, it was nice running into you—I hope we'll meet again soon ツ
Wol Euler: likewise!+
Wol Euler: take care, and good luck with your studies
Hokon Cazalet: Thanks ツ
Wol Euler smiles.
