Finally, I have a Clue and Direction(s): Billboard Top 100

This blog is for posting my letterboxing related activities and information. It will consist of trip reports, noteworthy accomplishments, particularly memorable days, event wrap-ups, running totals, etc. Basically, if it relates to letterboxing in some way and I felt it worth recording, it is here.

It is also (temporarily) a work in progress. I went through my logbook and made a list of things I "would have written about" had this actually started from day one. What that means is the blog is live starting in August 2007 but most older posts have been (or are in the process of being) recreated based on my memories so may be lacking some specifics. Also keep in mind that because of this some "new" posts may drop into their proper place in the past and you may miss them if you don't check the archive occasionally. Ideally, I will only be doing this backlogging for a couple months but could miss things that are not discovered until AFTER I turn this loose on the world and someone mentions it to me. Anyway, I hope you occasionally find something worth reading here...

Dec-07: Backlog Update - All old posts through August 2005 are done but will not show up on the AQ blog feed due to their old dates. I will try to get the next "year" done soon and hopefully after that, they will be new enough to hit the feed list.

Feb-08: The old monthly stats have been temporarily removed until I catch up the stories since I figure people would rather see them appear on the AQ Blog feed, even when old, than stats only.

P.S. Why the charts and graphs? I was a science major in college and like them so wanted to make some. Yes, that is a lame answer. If they bore you, just skip them. They will appear on the last day of every month and my "boxing year (August-31)" with no other info or anything to read so you won't miss anything.

Billboard Top 100

For a few months now, Mark and I have regularly been trading emails about life, boxing, carving and whatever else. On a whim I decided to go pick him up and head over to Stone Mountain today just because it sounded like we both could use some time away from life. This is actually the first time I have gone boxing with someone other than Artemis (not counting solo, which I did in Arizona).

This trip also had some other importance; the second box of the day was going to be my magical F100 so we specifically targeted what we had been told was an awesome WOM box, Tumbling Waters, that Mark had the clues for. I must admit, it definitely lived up to that bit of hype that it received. This has to be the most detailed carving I have seen so far and a great choice for a milestone. I also feel compelled to illustrate how great a guy Mark is. We spent a couple more hours going around the park and found a total of 9 boxes yet the only one he had not been to was Tumbling Waters. He just wanted the social aspect so spent a few hours with me walking and talking and NOT boxing, isn't that awesome?
