hol-lee shit. i'm gonna be driving with a truck full of crazy boys (whom i barely know except for one who i have a bit of a crush on because he's a stiltwalker but i don't know him al all, really) for two days to get to a week-long event in the desert. i've never been to nevada. i've never been in stereotypical desert either, just the scrubby high desert in eastern oregon. i've never gone on a road trip unless it was sprockettes, with my parents, with a band or alone. this is new. has anyone been to burning man? how should i prepare myself? |
baby wipes, sunscreen and mosturizer very warm clothes for night time lots of water ramen noodles some people get sick from the altitude so they recommend taking it easy the first day. [we stopped and spent the night in reno.] |
A camera for sure, we want to see the lapis view of burning man. |

As my granny said, be careful, have fun, watch out for sinkholes. |

However, I am struck by the "pyronphonic" word. I finally found out what Wallace Stevens meant by "concupiscent curds" the other day. |
so now i'm metaing the dead letter camp. |
or so it went. you be careful there girl. May be it was pyrophonic I was searching for... I Be Coming to Portland likely in the winter to visit son and other friends there. Other older son is going to teach in former East Germany for a year before resuming his grad work in the states. He is in japan now for the summer. I never get to go anywhere but Minneapolis next week and kentucky in September. |
you be coming to portland? well then. |

|
delicately, i have begun planting the seed which will grow the idea of us moving (back) to hawaii. |

gracias! si, anyone can come visit any time. austin is a fun place to visit, and the queen bed in our guest room is more comfortable than the bed we sleep on. also, the guest room is kept free of dogs. and there are heavy curtains on the window for sleeping in. and a tv with cable and remote. like a hotel, only without porn on demand. |
