The Girls came down to visit from L-Town as they are wont to do. And, of course we had to go out and find caches. A couple of days ago, we decided to stop on the way to dinner to find one in a small island park on the edge of a wealthy part of … Continue reading My Grasp Exceeds Its Reach →

I'm about to touch on a subject I usually avoid, not only because it's unseemly to discuss in public under most circumstances, but also because ... well, you'll see. I don't tend to discuss my politics. I'm sure that a lot of people who have read my previous writings can suss out my general position … Continue reading Veneer →

A couple of days ago, I went out to get a cache. This is not an earth-shattering revelation. I wasn't feeling all that great so I wanted to find the easiest one I could find that involved the least effort. That's hard these days because I've gotten pretty much all the LPCs and park & … Continue reading My Proverbial Backyard →

The goal for my weekend was to get out of the city onto some back roads somewhere to just grab a bunch of caches and enjoy some solitude. Unfortunately, that was not to be. The Austin area had much needed rain over the weekend, far-reaching enough that no small drive would be enough to get … Continue reading It Had To Do →

A couple of days ago, I picked up the first little library cache I've seen in a long time. It's not that they're especially rare or anything. It's just that they're usually pretty simple and I've picked up pretty much all the low hanging fruit around here. Ironically, there's a series here of pole hides … Continue reading I Need What I’ve Been Missing →

The Girls were still here for Labor Day so we decided to go for a little drive south to nearby Buda. Just as Pflugerville has effectively become north Austin, Buda is the southern equivalent (though an argument can be made for that being Kyle, but that's neither here nor there). We decided to go after … Continue reading Working Hard? Hardly Working! →

Saturday afternoon, the Girls and I were doing our thing around the house (in this case, a whole lot of nothing) when I just happened to check my emails as I am wont to do from time to time. I noticed that a new cache had just published an hour before up north in the … Continue reading Missed It By That Much! →

Wednesday night I attended an event at an outdoor brewhouse/restaurant. Our host was none other than FTFGuy, publisher of FTF Magazine. A good time was had by all. We introduced one of the employees to geocaching by pointing him to a cache outside the venue. I met some muggles belonging to cachers. But that wasn't … Continue reading A Different Kind Of Graveyard →

Monday was another Event that I couldn't miss. It was held at a restaurant that the Girls and I have frequented on many occasions (we like onigiri, OK?) and it was right on the way between work and home, which has been useful since vehicle has been at the mechanic. I'm very much looking forward … Continue reading Behold My Shortcomings →

Yesterday was the seventh anniversary of this site. It never ceases to amaze me that anyone would read anything that I wrote, much less having the knowledge that some of you have been doing it for so long. It's been kind of you to stick with me through it. This has not been my most … Continue reading A Seventh Year Gone By →
