I was looking at the donkey and elephant icons and decided my Burning Man camp needed a political icon of our own:

90 second video explianing what this year’s Burning Man theme, “American Dream,” means to me.

A few years ago, as the sun was setting on the Playa, I saw something wonderful.
It was a group of 5 naked people in their 50’s, hoola-hooping on the roof of a huge RV.

As the sun slipped behind the mountains in that magical way it does, the group of loose-skinned revelers began enthusiastically singing the national anthem.

At first I started to chuckle.

Then I realized they were singing with the utmost reverence.
And I was struck.
While some would argue that this was everything wrong with America.
To me, that moment embodied the very heart of my national pride.

This dirty, genital-jangling, off-key, ‘kick-in-the-teeth-to-the-status-quo serenade might be judged harshly or even incite hatred by the mainstream…but, by god, we’ve got the right to do it.

THAT is Freedom.
THAT is what the American Dream means to me.

This video of my nephew, COVERED in blueberry smoothie is the first time I’ve seen him play “make believe” (he pretends to eat cake). It makes me wish I could remember what it was like to be two. I’m so blessed to get a glimpse of it through him.

“Happy Fathers Day, Mommy!”
“Delicious!”

Nothing could replace the ol’ fur bike.

But this tandem and cruiser are proud new members of the family!

This is a pic of Maddie’s (13) White Board Art:

I just found this video of me riding my old bike on the beach. Good times.

But good times await! Because this morning, I bought a new beach cruiser! from B & L Bikes. STAY TUNED!

This blog takes other people’s party pics and then teases from afar. Often WRONG, but usually hilarious, like: Roofie Party

(I’m also testing out the new Flock browser by blogging from it. So far, it’s flocking GREAT!)
