Hey Goathead; Some of us are still travelling and can't get online much!
Gosh I wanted to meet so many people and I did but I missed Artemis. Darn it all. Oh and I missed Cryptofishist too. I went over there a couple of times but she wasn't there.
Saw ygmir, gyre, littleflower, pinegranny, TITWI, OneEyedDick, Leggs, Risky, Ugly Dougly, swampdog, Shimbala, Simon on the Playa, and of course my neighbour Goathead. Oh and I'm sure I met others but can't recall at this moment. Met lots of new people too.
What a great burn. The weather was great. The Temple burn was a real highlight for me. Spent the whole night there among the embers and early into the morning, Joan Baez sang Leonard Cohen's Hallelujiah. Since this was one of Caleb's favourites and we were going to go to his concert together in May, it was especially poignant for me.
Okay folks, we need to get looking after our health this year as a number one priority. Pinegranny had her issues just before the burn but Goathead had to be med-evac'd off the playa - scared the heck outta me!!! Not to be a nag here but really we are each so loved by others that we need to find a motivation to stay healthy.
That's it for me for today, I think. I'm still on the road. Will check in tomorrow. BTW, I have a new hero on the playa: Simon! The story will warm your hearts but I will save it for next time. Simon is the bestest!
