Another day, another bison tube. Except this one is actually from a couple of days ago. Yesterday, I had every intention of going out and grabbing one, even though I'm no longer wedded to my streak. I spent the day working, even though I had little to do but read docs, watch compliance videos, and … Continue reading What A Challenge Is For →

After the tragedy, restoration was relatively easy. I'm not a person who would normally ask, "What do you carry in your caching bag?" because I find the question incredibly banal and because, quite frankly, it's none of my business. However, since I'm starting again from square zero (there I go, mixing metaphors again!), now is … Continue reading A Bit Of New Kit →

Several days back, my car was broken into. Well, it wasn't exactly "broken" into. It looks like I forgot to lock my door, and someone opportunistically opened it at an inconvenient time of the morning. Other than several dollars in change missing and a lot of things tossed around, there was no real damage other … Continue reading The Thief Of Hopes →

I have, up until recently, gotten into the habit of carrying tweezers around in my pocket. It happened by accident—I was given a pair at an Event, and I just never put them away. Unfortunately, I lost them out of my pocket about a week ago. It was not a huge deal, but it resulted … Continue reading High Crimes And Misdemeanors? →

I’m always a little antsy between big trips. Well, “antsy” is probably the wrong word. That implies anxiety. It’s funny that I can totally give you a literary example (imagine Olenka from The Darling by Chekov when nobody’s around), but I can’t produce the right word. I’m sure that word will magically materialize in my … Continue reading Doldrums Again →

Yes, there were a couple of caches this weekend, but I had other things to consider, namely (a) the girls are visiting from L-Town and (b) the temperatures have been over 100 in Austin. I mess with and mock my children from time to time because it's written in my paternal contract to do so, … Continue reading Visita Interiora Terrae →

... with all of yesterday in me? With all that talk about walking in rivers before, you'd think there weren’t the beginnings of a drought in Texas. And yet, there I was, metaphorically wading in another old river. I went to an Event back where it all began, Georgetown. I arrived in town with a … Continue reading How Can I Begin Anything New →

It is not the same river, nor is he the same man—if you trust Heraclitus of Ephesus. I have no reason to doubt him, especially after yesterday. My job takes two days off for Independence Day instead of just one, so I decided to use my second day off to take a morning trip down … Continue reading No Man Steps In The Same River Twice →

This post is perhaps the most compelling candidate for my dumbest entry ever. That said, those of you who have been following my adventures for a while are aware that I possess a very special trackable that has been adventuring with me since time immemorial (or at least since Fredericksburg): my trusty and long-suffering umbrella. … Continue reading Why Didn’t I Think Of This Before? →

...or some kind of crap like that.So, with Kansas in the rearview mirror, whatever would I do with myself? If your answer was “cache,” then you win any prize from the top row! Even though I previously mentioned that my caching no longer had to be done every day because I was no longer committed … Continue reading Out Of The Past, Into The Future →
