  • Easter Egg Hunting, Gravity Hooking, and Geocachers You Might Know

    This afternoon, like last year, we took the opportunity to spend Easter Sunday hiding one another's Easter eggs in the woods and then running around looking for them.



    For some reason, this year Rory didn't want me to be responsible for hiding his egg (something to do with his eventually being found up a tree, last โ€ฆ

    I'm sitting doing some work on a web site for one of our clients, and Reb (you know, the ex-girlfriend) sends me another text message:

    Cool And Interesting Thing Of The Day To Do At The University Of Wales, Aberystwyth, #53:

    Get an advent calendar! (the least said, the better)
