After a momentary burst of inspiration, I googled both "Buddhism Chichester" and "Buddhism Villanova." The first query resulted in tons of replies for Chichester, England, but none for Chicester, PA. The second query resulted in about 5 or so entries, all of which were indirectly related to either Buddhism or Villanova University.
And the conclusion: no Buddhism here. I guess it's not that much of a suprise. I mean, I wouldn't expect Southeastern PA to be some sort of stronghold of the Dharma. I guess that was just wishful thinking on my part.
Therefore, no joining of any sanghas anytime soon for me. Bummer.
Another option would be a self-formed sangha. But I know nowhere near enough about Buddhism, I'm nowhere near enlightened, and I have nowhere to house this "club." Though I do like the idea of a club based around some general precepts of philosophy, or even just responsible citizenship. I'll toss this around in my head / on this blog.
I guess I'll have Christian mysticism to look forward to at Villanova. I mean, St. Augstine is the patron saint of Villanova, and he was on of the greatest Christian mystics of all time.
Score.

Well Dave, about the vegetarian thing, do whatever floats your boat. You've always supported me with my crazy ideas so I can't see why I shouldn't support you.
I guess if you don't really like the taste of meat, it kinda makes sense. It just seems a little weird to me because the meat is what "makes" the sandwhich for me. But yeah, I can see you surviving off of wheats and stuff. Those are good. If I had a bag of rice to carry around for the rest of my life, I'd basically be good.
