Our Wanderer attended several workshops. One of these was on Fossils (upper left). He saw many fossils, including those of prehistoric dinosaur gizzards, primitive sea creatures, and La Bamba, which has been extinct for a long time now despite unexpectedly appearing in 2011.
One of his favorite hobbies is polyhedra origami. So he attended a workshop on how to make a stellated octahedron, in this case with a plaid design on it (upper right). He was so interested in it that he gave is own workshop on how to make a PhiZZ dodecahedron (middle left), and he wondered if there was Lady Luck magic in the interior of this model that would ward off the Black Swan. But it was too large and cumbersome to use as a magic charm.
He also attended a workshop on meditation and on writing your own memoir. At that one he saw a book "There's a wocket in my pocket." He then wondered if there was a wocket in his pocket. He reached into his pocket and pulled out not a wocket but a wabbit. It was the White Rabbit. He asked our wanderer how things were doing at SUUSI. He said that they were doing great. Must be dancing with Lady Luck and dodecahedron charms. The Rabbit warned him however, "You haven't found the Silver Chalice yet, and the Black Swan is still around and I am afraid he will have his say."
Our Wanderer was a little preturbed by that but he ignored it and went on a tour of Shadowlake, a cohousing community, where many resources are shared in a community that was like a year-long SUUSI. At this community he found the clubhouse (mid right) where many activities take place, a 3D Printer, which can create a whole host of plastic objects, and a woods, where one can commune with nature. But not all of his time was spent in workshops. He had some spare time...
