Oh, I haven't been to Blackbird Bakery before; that sounds cool. [cues up list for next Seattle visit]
Regarding organization... the problem has almost never been that I can't put up with other people, it's been that Other Party A decides that they hate Other Party B, and my peacemaking efforts only work for so long. So it seems like everyone involved needs that level of restraint, and I can only control myself. I can encourage tolerance and civility in others, but it doesn't often work if they are determined to be contentious. That's the obstacle I can't seem to get past.
