I Don't Want to Be Normal. I Want to Be Healthy 10/25/13 Dan Goodman,

Wednesday October 23, 2013 The bookstore at Minneapolis Central Library
had a 25 cent sale. Bought a Lonely Planet guide to Papua New Guinea.
***On to the Wedge Coop's annual meeting. It was held at St. Mary's
Greek Orthodox Church's event center.
St. Mary's Church's congregation is apparently mostly English-speaking.
And not all the surnames are Greek.
Looked at some church literature. They perform marriages to other kinds
of Christians, but not to non-Christians. Jehovah's Witnesses and
Mormons are classed as non-Christians.
This year, the Wedge had charged five dollars for dinner up to a certain
date -- to be refunded at the meeting. Purpose: to get a reasonably
accurate count of how many people needed to be fed. (And how many were
vegetarian or vegan.) After the cut-off date, the cost was ten dollars
and not refundable.
The refund turned out to be a Wedge gift card.
Appetizers available during the formal meeting were organically correct,
with a good selection of gluten-free items.
Speeches, announcements. And a short film about Gardens of Eagan
(organic farm owned by the Wedge) and its associated school. It would
have made farming seem attractive to me, if I hadn't grown up in the
country.
And then, dinner. I ate well.
