Lydia won a boatload of stuffed animals at Circus Circus where they have a carnival-like midway. She's named them all.

We're in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. Here's Jake's first attempt at a show angel. It's beautiful here.

 

Lydia insisted I find her an editing test online for her to work on. She's got the right color pen.

Geocaching Returns

I was just in Phoenix for a meeting and flexed my geocaching muscles again. My first finds in quite a while! They were witnessed by muggles-no-more Kate & Kristen, who joined me on two of the urban caches around Scottsdale. Our hard hunting was rewarded with a margarita & chips, but I don't think they'll be rushing out anytime soon buy their own GPS.

Here's the second half of Lydia's message in which she pleads for my help in selling Girl Scout cookies. Note the pronunciation of Samoas -- she's always had trouble with that one.
