I know\u00a0 I&#8217;m not supposed to talk about the expereince or the show until it goes on TV sometime later this summer or fall.\u00a0 I can live with that.. but the real barrier to communication is something much deeper. I just can&#8217;t begin to put the experience into words. It was so very different from anything I&#8217;v eever done before.. the setting the experience.. the people .. especially the people. I&#8217;ve been emailing with some of the other from the show and can tell that they, too are struggling a bit to reintigrate..\u00a0 I think we all feel like we&#8217;ve landed on some alien planet and are trying to make sense of it. It would be fun if I didn&#8217;t feel so spacey doing it. <br \/>\u00a0\u00a0 Job one was to fit back in.. to that end I desperately needed a haircut.. here&#8217;s what I looked like monday night:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/apr3009\/apr3009021.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">here&#8217;s who I looked on Tuesday night.

All in all, very little had changed there.
