as some of you are aware, i'm back from burning man. i'm feeling mixed about this trip. if i do a trip report, it certainly won't be like the last one that never got finished. :) btw, dan already has his burning man pix up (we would be the "friendly portland neighbors" as well as the people who got his light-up barbie to twirl).
leopoldo was the first to find us (other than jalex & michaelmas, of course) & invited us to brunch this morning, which we took at zell's. then we went exploring the construction around the "big pipe" sewer project and the ohsu tram construction at the waterfront. then we swung by the armory and mio gelato (cinnamon ice cream!) before heading home to wash & oil the bikes before the playa dust permanently corroded them. trixie also got her back seat replaced, and i did it better this year than i did last year.
of course our grumpy bundle of furry joy is back, too. tonight i gave amelia a little night light, and playing music (especially tanya donnelly) seems to help calm her when she's in the laundry room. i could create a little "goodnight amelia" playlist. or wait! you could! send me a song you think i ought to put on my cat's goodnight playlist. it's so absurd it might just work! :D
