OK, I have to admit, I have not actually seen this guy in 4.5 years - before that NZ, Aussie and Indonesia and stuff trip. So this testimony has a certain patina to it.
Bullet points to follow:
- Alex rocks as my partner in Beach Volleyball. I don't think, I was ever any good at this sport, not sure he is any good at it either, but we were considerably successful driving doubles much better than us quite nuts, because somehow we just would not give up a ball unless it really had made a dent into the sand. Ah, the joy! You rock!! I will set for you any day :)
- You may not know this, but you caused some rather important/interesting things/ideas in my life.
I asked you about your necklace, and you told me about Burning Man. Never told me, though, what your performance on stage was to get it , now that I think about it .... My reaction was - huh, that sounds interesting, I want to learn more about this, I think I would like going there ....
- you inspired me to reconsider 8-5 as the only choice.
- the evening you left CA, i bought a laptop. Part of the reason was, that I wanted to stay in touch. That little laptop now played an important role in what happened for the following 4 years. Never heard the term 'Burning Man' again in those 4 years ...
- Anyway, we are leaving the realm of Alex now, but funny enough, the first guy I met after those 4 years (post-many-things), his second or fifth sentence contained the word "Burning Man". Kinda like "brackets" around the 4 years of marriage and all that happened. Alright, I got it. I am going!
...And how fitting, that I should meet you again, on Monday at Midnight, by the Man. Looking forward. Love you!!
