Fast read.

The style is a little unusual because it’s written like she’s actually spending an hour just sitting with you and telling you about her life. So it jumps around a bit and has a very conversational tone to it.

I enjoyed it for the stories she told and also the

Hi! Long time no see! How are you?

[gorillashaman]

I'm doing well. Got married on the playa in '09, to my first high school girlfriend if you can believe that. I'm a grandpa by proxy now (my wife's daughter from her first marriage just had her first child).

How are you doing? Will you be on the playa this year?

[megalion]

Yes I saw the marriage stuff in your journal, congrats! And wow on grandpadom!

I'm doing good. Lots of stresses but I'm a homeowner now! (more like farmowner with 34 animals and at least 2 more probably coming)

Just got back from 4 days camping with my best friend which was a much needed break from the routine for us both. And I haven't been to the playa since the year I met & camped with you. Last year, I went with friends and camped at Big Sur over that same period since my bday is Aug 29th. This year, not looking good either. I miss Burning Man but I fell out of the habit and now I don't know what it'll take to get back in. Plus things are always volatile at home. Most times when I've gone away, I come home to crisis at home.
