Missed you all! Missed seeing myself in print too. Okay maybe not. The self-centeredness that consumed me is long gone. When I sleep.
Your Trusty Reno Writer always puts far too much on her plate. Sometimes really great friends and life itself add extra servings.
You got yer bi-monthly trips to Fallon, NV to work up sweat, get covered in safety-red paint, destroy fingernails, avoid horseshit, flies, Dalmatians, lizards, brown recluse spiders and acres of lung-loving dust. It’s always laugh as hard as you toil too. This describes our Work-Parties prior to Burning Man and 4th of Juplaya. Add recovery from the back surgery, a soothing girls-only weekend to Calistoga and Napa Valley wine country, then a dash of parenting, typical familial tribulations and a few naughty bits. Not even close to enough naughty bits.
Life is busy! The body is mangled and the pain pills are being toned down; it’s healing. The heart is a boomerang, my Spanky’s Wine Bar (our infamous Burning Man theme camp) family loves me. Might be homeless by summer’s end. So much to worry about but so much more to grin about.
Life is also a wreck! Am one of the lucky ones to walk away with a smile after the crash though.

This pilot has flown into Burning Man and 4th of Juplaya for years. This time he landed within 20 yards of our camp. FAB peeps.
Screw the FAA when it comes to the playa.

It’s a Sloth!
Missed all of you talented writers. Have been reading your posts but no time for replies. Throwing off the shroud of sloth now.
Apologies. Missed all of you.

Have to agree with Loon. Bearman, you liar liar (hmmm pants on fire?) can tell you rock with the cartoons. Although it would give alkies of the world hope if you lied and stated you did admit fibbing (lying is good -especially in a relationship. sorry. marriage) about your process.

That sloth looks like it has enough love for all of us put together, no? Crazy, these animals. You can’t trust them cuz it all comes down to instinct. I would offer that sloth a syrah/garnacha blend.

Boooooooooooo! Your back!

Think I’ve stretched it as far as it’ll go so moving on… good to see you made the Burn n I’m guessing you had fun. Maybe one day I’ll get my ass there n join you in the frolicking although ticket availability/money/actually being allowed in the country will determine that.
As for your back, let the saga begin! I do get the feeling it’s gonna be of Homeric proportions so I shall make sure I stay tuned, even if you do say things like”Stay tuned, same back time, same back channel” (60’s Batman reference ftw!)
Glad you’re writing again 🙂 n much love, not quite as much as the sloth shows but then that’s a lotta love

Null I miss you. 4th of Juplaya is NOT Burning Man. It is an ‘un-official’ pre-Burn.
Best part pf this year? Rangers from the park service and local police going to each camp asking ‘who is the organizer?!’ hahahahahaha
Joke’s on them. It’s an ‘underground’ gathering. Fuck ’em.
Second best thing? The ‘Party Potty Camp.’ Those guys brought out 8 porta-potties for campers to use.
How cool is that?
When Spanky’s had a big camp last year we rented one. This year all the dues and work are going to the Burn.
Last week of August and The Man burns on Saturday night of Labor Day weekend.
4th of Juplaya: Used my friend’s ‘playa truck’ and took peeps to the porta potties, hot springs and art installations.
Get this: Truck made it home heheheheheheh. 75 MPH racing across 100 miles of bumpy, dusty, fun playa.
All guns returned home and Frogbat was blown up. Hmmm you may have to look this up.
