### Equinox
Things that went well
- Ben thought everyone seemed to have a pretty good time
- Brandon and Shelley liked the way Eric put together the service, it felt really positive
- Shelley liked how Ben's parents stayed to help finish the biospheres
- Shelley loved the feeling of having everyone over at our house, like a village event
- Shelley's photos turned out great
- Sequoia wanted to ride the Ferris wheel at Oaks Park, but then really enjoyed pipetting water in the swamp
- Brandon liked building the CELSS
- Ren liked being held by Ben's mom

Things that we could improve
- Shelley: Plan to eat supper before assembling the biospheres; order the pizza slightly sooner
- Ben: Learn more about collecting small creatures from swamps
- Shelley: It would be nice if more of the shrimp survive (maybe it's the pH)

#### 2012 Autumn Goals, due 12/21/2012
- One-Page Plan development
- Book?
  - On the one hand, our level of enthusiasm this past quarter was very low
  - On the other hand, this is very much an in-progress project, which makes us reluctant to put it on hold

### Evaluation
- Ben ... We got stuff done but weren't collaborating, and that's unfortunate ... I was trying to shepherd us through the usual process and it wasn't working
- Shelley ... I agree, but I don't know how to balance that ... I can't concentrate if I'm working together
- Brandon ... I just worked on things and it felt good ... I'm tired of just talking about things
