I was sitting at home, getting ready to go to bed, when I realized something very important: I had almost forgotten to write an entry for today! I apologize for my near oversight. It's been a long day. I have had to take some trips out to Fredericksburg this week, and yesterday was one of … Continue reading I Almost Forgot! →

A couple of days ago, when it was time for my daily cache, I decided to go after a Letterbox Hybrid that I hadn't yet gotten. The biggest reason I hadn't gotten it up to that point is that it was located in a fairly affluent part of town, and I'm a little leery of … Continue reading Grace →

Saturday morning, I went out to get another FTF, the other cache placed by the same CO who provided the one I found last week with the girls. I left this one alone then for several reasons: it was in Austin proper (meaning it would be easy to get to), it was close to home, … Continue reading Another FTF, Now With More Annoyance! →

My daughters like to think they look hard-core and frightening. I love them very much, but they do not. Not to me, anyway...A couple of days ago, a couple of caches appeared near downtown Austin. One of them was close to a major thoroughfare, the other deeper in East Austin, a more economically depressed but … Continue reading First To Find, Fool! →

Oh, happy day! Callooh! Callay! Or some kind of crap like that! Last night, the girls and I went to an Event hosted by friend of the blog Buckandi. After seventeen years, he has hit ten thousand caches! About twenty-five of us (some alone, others with spouses) gathered to have dinner and drinks and to … Continue reading Congratulations Are In Order →

What did I do this weekend? From a caching perspective, that is. It was filled, though not brimming. Saturday, I took the girls to the Austin Zoo, where we attended a tiger's birthday. One of them suggested placing an Adventure Lab series there, which is not a terrible idea. I'm going to put some brain … Continue reading Tiny Trips →

Oh, mother of crapsticks, it's gotten hot around here! I was enjoying the cool spring, but after some storming on the solstice, summer has begun in true and unquestionable form! Yesterday, I asked the girls if they wanted to come out and grab a cache with me. They both understandably passed on leaving the air-conditioned … Continue reading Do I Have To Brave The Sun? →

I had Juneteenth off. I wanted to do something with the girls. My older daughter, the cacher, mentioned that, since she was here with me and I cache every day, there was no reason that she couldn't make it to the Out and About Medium souvenir. I told her about the Solstice one that required … Continue reading Country Mouse, City Mouse →

The girls are visiting for a couple of weeks from L-Town. What better way to kick their visit off than some arts and crafts? I dragged them out to a Maker Magic Event over the weekend to make some caches and to see some people (and to conduct some TXGA business, but that's not important … Continue reading The Means Of Production →

Last year at this time, I had completed six states. This year, I have completed one more state and added two more to my running tally, for a total of twenty-three states visited, of which seven are completed. A couple of days ago was my fifth geoversary. It doesn't feel like five years, and yet … Continue reading There’s No Narrative To Interrupt This Time… →
