Chattahoochee Retreat had a telecom room that made the Galveston Lodge’s look premillennial. They did a crash course in videoglass technique. Strictly hands-on, typical Rizome training. The two of them took turns wandering over the grounds, scanning things at random, refining their skills. A lot to look at: greenhouses, aquaculture ponds, peach orchards, windmills. A day-care crèche where a Retreat staffer was baby-sitting Loretta. Rizome had given the creche system a shot, years ago, but people hadn’t liked it—too kibbutzish, never caught on.
