Dr Placebo came into my life unexpectedly, bringing a rideshare, sarongs, songs, ice cream and a shoulder to cry on. What a singularly wonderful man.
Respectful, patient, incurably wonderful. Talented musician. Deep thinker. Dreamer. I am so pleased to know you.
My life has been changed for the better simply because you are my friend.

Dr. P is a special guy... he has this gentle, calming energy, and a wicked sense of humour that has won me over. It's fun to get to know people after you met them in BED. ;)

Dr. Placebo is a smart and devoted servant of all that is good. He and his love partner Mary run workshops on intimate partnerships as spiritual practice. He gives tirelessly of his time and energy to the Bureau of Erotic Discourse (B.E.D.). A man quietly committed to helping humans evolve, he is intelligent, funny, kind, and wise. He makes life more centered and hopeful than it was before.

about me
I'm not such a bad guy once I get to know me.
That he is mad, 'tis true: 'tis true 'tis pity;
And pity 'tis 'tis true: a foolish figure;
-- Hamlet, act 2, scene 2
“Forgiveness is the name of love practiced among people who love poorly. The hard truth is that all of us love poorly. We need to forgive and be forgiven every day, every hour –unceasingly. That is the great work of love among the fellowship of the weak that is the human family. ”
-- Henri Nouwen
If you knew how many people love you, then you would have no fear. [Unknown]

I'm anxious. What if I forget something?
I'm exhilarated. What miracle will occur there?
I'm harried. Why is there never enough time?
I'm sighing. Why does this event move me to tears?
I'm resentful. Why is it so far and so much work?
I'm hopeful. What will I learn this time?
I'm going. I'm going. I'm going.

I've been to FM 2008, BM 2008, and a bunch of other places, and I've neglected to blog at all. It's been a good year. I have everything I need and then some. I do not know how I came by such bounty, because I know people with less who deserve it more.
OK, here's a little tidbit I recently ran across, thanks to www.dailykos.com. Apparently, there are conservatives who think that Stephen Colbert is a serious conservative:

Despite being old enough to know better I remain an optimist. It is not because I feel that everything has been good, or is good, or will be good. It's more because I desire things to be better and I find that optimism is the most practical way to get there.
Being a pessimist is a form of laziness. It enables one to sit on the sidelines and moan about how awful it all is, and how much worse it will become. "Why bother?" the pessimist asks. And by taking that attitude the pessimist be...

Remember, it's OK to be imperfect, to make mistakes, to have something missing. You will have a lot of friends out there, even if at first they appear to be strangers.

Re: SECRETS! Conference 2009 The Energy & Harmonics Revolution
(in Burning Man)
There may be more efficient ways to produce high energy particles than using current technology, even scaled up to ludicrous levels. After all, cosmic rays are observed to have as much as a billion times the energy of the best that we can do (so ...

Re: FINDING WORK?? help!
(in Burning Man)
Rob is basically right. Make your resume reflect a particular direction, rather than using everything at once. This is not being dishonest, it's just making you appear to be interested in what they might be offering. An employer is wondering wh...

The advice here is actually quite good. Of course, we got this wise by first being somewhat stupid, but that's life.
I just mentioned desert camping because I found it useful, but almost any kind of camping will start you off right.
Tempera...

Re: Pointers!

It's best not to have too many expectations.
When I went for the first time I went solo. One thing that helped a lot was having some previous camping experience, especially backpacking and some desert camping. So, I was somewhat prepared to s...
