This year I didn’t plan to go to Burning Man.  I was co-working with Katie today and she asked if I was going.  I said I didn’t think so.  She looked at me and told me that didn’t sound like a real no.  I told her that if a ticket fell in my lap I’d go, but I wasn’t putting out an effort to look for one.  Later we went back to the house and as she was getting ready to go out for the evening, I told Travis about the conversation.  He told me he just sent off his request for tickets for his team 10 minutes ago.  “Oh well, I told him, it’s ok.  I’d be happy to go, I’d be happy to not go”.  Later in the evening, he told me he sent out another email to see if he could get one more ticket for me.  If he could, I’d have to do a shift for Lock Out, unlocking cars.  That sounds fun!
