Dear Friends & Family,
HOT OFF THE PRESS: Here is your new August 2013 CATALYST.
Once every few years an edition of CATALYST comes out that does not bear my imprimatur on every page. This is one of those issues. Yes, I've been out of town (read about it on page 6). I think you will find it quite wonderful. It's a quirky issue, the main story being about tattoos. There's a captivating story on fleas, I kid you not. Dive in.
Also, below, you'll find our picks on this week's events.
Till next week, Greta deJong, editor & publisher

For those of you waiting for the news of our second hatching of goslings, we're sorry to say that the goslings never made it.
I blame it on stress. When we hosted the Wasatch Community Gardens farm and garden tour, Ethel had one more week to go on her eggs. We erected a temporary fence to keep people away from her corner of the yard. But there were still hundreds of people coming through and Fred and the goslings hung back behind the fence, visibly bothered by the intrusion. The next day we had a party at our house - more people, more noise.
It was immediately after that weekend that we noticed when Ethel came off the nest to eat and drink she did not rush back to her eggs. I took to herding her back to her nest. But she would often only stand over it, refusing to sit...(read more).

For the next several weeks, the planets align in complex, and for the most part, difficult patterns that underscore, once again, the serious dilemmas many of us are facing personally as well as collectively.
