I first learned about cohousing when someone mentioned it on a frugal newsgroup I read, and I knew immediately it was what I'd been looking for. My biggest hope for cohousing is that it provides a sense of extended family, and that it contributes to simple living. Even though I now live five hours from Austin I manage to get down there occasionaly and I keep up easily with what's going on through email and the wiki. I have been involved with CAC since January 2001 when I invited myself to the first consensus training. It took only that one weekend for me to feel fully committed. Before retiring early I worked as a Medical Technologist/ Microbiologist.
