Several times today I&#8217;ve tried to describe what it was like out there on the playa.. I remember reading the &#8220;What is Burning Man&#8221; essay on BurningMan.com . It said &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind.&#8221;..<\/span> I remember thinking.. that was hyperbole.. but I&#8217;m finding it to be true. I&#8217;ve tried at least 20 times today to explain to friends what the event was like.. and came up short every time. <\/p>\n<p>Already some of the folks in our group are talking about next year&#8230; at this point, I can&#8217;t imagine <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">not<\/span> going.. I wonder how I&#8217;ll feel then.&nbsp; Here&#8217;s a montage of folks from our group. None of us remembered to take a group shot !<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0208\/burn.jpg\" \/><br \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Anyway.. that was last week. This week we&#8217;re back to just the three of us in this huge house. It feels strange and quiet.. but also peaceful. I like the extra time with Gabe. He&#8217;s such a fun kid to hang around with.&nbsp; He&#8217;s taken it upon himself to redecorate his room and bathroom using a bunch of wild colors.. Now he wants to add fiber optic lighting to the walls. That should be a fun project to do together. <\/p>\n<p>Man.. It&#8217;s only 8:30 and I can hardly keep my eyes open.. I&#8217;ve had 9 hour sleeps the last 2 nights.. I&#8217;m guessing that I need another.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#8217;ll end here cuz I think Diane, Gabe and I are going to watch a movie.. Peace out folks.. Peace out Sam<br \/>-me<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First of all, I want to wish my darling Mama and cute little baby bro- happy birthdays today.
