Welcome to Phoenix’s world-changing Salon
A portmanteau. A treasure trove. A time capsule. A poetry book. A diary. A photo album. Memories. Dreams. Wishes. Hopes. An open letter to an unsuspecting public. An intimate confession to close friends. A declaration of intent. A whisper of love. A personal record. An experiment in introspection. A performance space. A political rant. A wild yawp. Why do any of us publish our words and images online? Come, dream with me.Protected: Tina update

Date with my honey
For all the folks asking if things have changed since the ceremony: Doug and I went kite flying this evening in Mountain View as the sun set and then went to Zucca for scotch (15-year-old Dalwhinnie, neat, him) and a cocktail they call Oh, Beautiful (Remy cognac,…

Exodus
The next day’s ride back got a slow start but once we were on the road, we had good conversations. I found it odd to be in a vehicle with people casually talking about ”Barlow” (John Perry) and his two naked 19-year-old nubile young things in his RV at Burning Man…
Burning Man, the aftermath
Monday was bump-out. A hard work day of taking down the dome and packing up the tents, breaking down the camp in general. It was also a day of rising tempers as campmates and freeloaders didn’t pull their weight, as people’s lifts left without them, as others didn’t…
