Seeing Timidia In a New Way

"I go to Burning Man every year," Timidia told us. My husband and I nearly spit out our coffee. She was an accountant, unassuming, dumpy. She wore shirts with plastic pen protectors. Timidia attended Burning Man! What? In those clothes? I asked her. She shook her head, no. "In no clothes at all" I now picture her in a whole new way. Wishing that she weighed a teensy bit less. I go too, her Bohemian husband said. He has hair down to his hoo-hah. No surprise here.

Timidia wasn't so timid after all. Her Bohemian husband seems to be a bit more modest Good one, Caren. Take care. Shirley

I really need to check out this "burning man" thing. I hear lots about it. Really, they go naked??? Well, in that case, I reckon I'm too old!

Yes they do, and the older the naked ones, the better!
