OK, so maybe the 'weekly thread' idea was a little ambitious 

  This course has been so great that I have been spending any extra time watching lectures again and reading the comments. I have not really had the time to take advantage of the forums there yet. 
 
 I have to say- a great deal of the 'knowledge' I am hearing is not new to me. What IS new (and amazing) is how the random bits of facts, ideas, methods, and what-not in my head are being stitched together,  making a holistic web in my brain.  I am thoroughly enjoying this process! 
 
 How about you all?  Has this been good for you as well? Have you had any difficulties with the format?  I am appreciating the ability to pause the lecture at important moments- I need to let some things sink in a stew for a while. 
 
 I am really looking forward to the 'Patterns' section next week. That portion of the Permaculture Design Manual was a struggle for me- I could tell there were things that I just was not getting.  I can't wait!
