Whew! 103! That's a Load Off My Mind!

I had an awesome day, so let me tell you how it started.

bk got me into geocaching back in August, and then I visited Phoenix in October and introduced RAJwantsabirdie to it. I never really thought of it as a competitive sport, but RAJwantsabirdie can be counted on to make just about anything competitive. I only had 26 caches when I got him started and he's been taunting me since about how he's going to pass me in numbers.

Initially, I scoffed, he will never pass me. The more I thought about it, though, I realized: it's inevitable. He's determined, he has nice weather this time of year, and he has 671 caches within 10 miles of his house. As of yesterday, I too was determined, but it was 30 degrees out, and I only have 109 caches within 10 miles of my house -- many of which, I've already found.

So, to make peace with those circumstances, I settled for logging 103 caches total (21 in the last 24 hours) ... handily beating RAJwantsabirdie to 100. I'll be looking at his ass for the rest of this race, but that's ok because it feels good right now.

And it is, after all, the best I can do.

Here's to the end of a gorgeous (but really cold) day spent with my absolute favorite: That's right ice-cold-Amber-Bock-next-to-a-roaring-fire, I'm talking to you!

Oh, and you too bk! ;-)

As for RAJwantsabirdie -- thanks for making me work for it! Good luck and happy caching!
