You may recall that my silly To Do List had, as a low priority (but still very important) item, “reward self with a caching run”. Since I had completed all of the items on the silly list I contacted my friend May about heading out in the evening (I’m not sure how her To Do List […]

Dramatis persona*
Helen Chick
I've always wanted a bumper sticker that said "I'm a female, LDS/Mormon, Scout leading, geocaching, piano-playing, bicycling, mathematics educator with a PhD in maths ... and I VOTE"! I think this makes me a minority group of cardinality 1! * Since there's only one of me and "personae" is plural (I think), I've gone with dramatis persona. Visits since May 2016 |

I am also experiencing post-camp vocal bassification, in which I acquire a few extra notes in the […] One of the disconcerting things about being at a two-week Scout camp like Jamboree is that you lose track of which day it is. I had intended to do “12 of 12” while on Jamboree but then completely forgot about it. Fortunately, when I came to look back through the photos I took, I realised that […] Showers at odd times of the day (if you can find time to have one at all) Even when you think you have allowed time, even when you think everything is under control, even when you think that your “systems” are working just how you want them, SOMETHING inevitably happens. This blog post — about the fact that it has taken me far too long to get organised for Jamboree and that my head […] |
