For weeks now I have supported you as you prepared for your first trip to burning man. I have seen you through the highs of excitement, the nervousness of the unknown and the guilt of leaving your beautiful, loving, giving wife at home.
It seems like only yesterday that Todd rang you up from Chicago with an invite for a week of freedom of expression, thought provoking conversation, and life altering art exhibits rising from the desert. I watched as you toiled with if this was something you would have enjoyed, or appreciated most at a different time in your life.
Once we decided this was an important trip for your emotional growth and continued bonding with the male species, it was time to prepare. As a man who fancies himself "geared for life," I knew this would be no easy feat. Day after day we received ups boxes containing funny looking items. For instance your facemask, or goggles.
And then of course the very important issue of hydration. If there is one thing have taught me, it is that one can never be over-hydrated. I think we prepared adequately for you.
And what good would this water be with out a way to ensure its mobility?
By Monday night you felt "95 percent ready," and wondered aloud why you procrastinate so much.
Oh Travor, you are a silly man.
So, as you drive across the desert (in my car!) please take a moment to reflect on how your perfectionistness has prepared you for life, but most importantly, for Burning Man.
See you on the flipside.
Love,
Kelly
P.S. Don't die.
