Perfection!

Thanks to Maga11 and Toolman Luke's dear gift to me for my birthday, my collection is complete!

Mid February Ramble

It's been a winter that hasn't allowed me to get outside a lot. My hands and feet get so cold that I don't want to step outside at all. It's wonderful to see the length of the day increasing and with better spirits RGBisMe and I ventured out to find a few letterboxes.

We hiked about 3 miles and enjoyed the views and park we were exploring. A fresh layer of about 3" of snow had fallen the night before but there were already foot prints on the trails we were on. It was easy to camouflage any time we found a letterbox because they were hidden so closely to the trails. The exception was when we dropped our signature stamp in the snow. The ink just kept spreading and every time we tried to kick more snow to cover it the color seemed to spread even more.

Walking and talking and enjoying the day was the theme. We had a lot to talk about thinking of Ravenboy starting to tour again and Asrai's mom having surgery. Our pace was slow not only because of talking so much but because a lot of areas had much more snow from the season that had not melted. I ended up wet to my knees in the end because of some marshy areas and shuffling through the snow. This was fine because our car was parked centrally and we warmed up on the way home.

Six More Weeks

of winter is what Punxsutawney Phil has predicted. Here I am wearing my new groundhog hat, a purchase through Etsy. I hope it helps to keep me warm for the next six weeks because I have been very cold this year.

A Peek Behind the Curtain

For those of you that have met RGBisMe, you probably perceive him as a quiet and gracious man and that he is. He downplays his talents and expertise and has become known, in the best of letterboxing circles, as "The Man Behind the Curtain." He is that and so much more.

In the mundane world of professions and bringing home the soy-bacon, RGBisMe is the same type of person. Although he is revered as a wealth of talent and knowledge, he much prefers share his knowledge to empower others rather than be put upon a pedestal. His care and guidance allows his coworkers to make the best of their own talents while he directs them with a gentle hand.

Those of you who find the concept of competition to be a healthy and natural human characteristic might find RGBisMe's demure deference to be annoying and infuriating. It is my firm opinion that those characteristics are what make him so approachable, believable and genuine. An artist in the purest sense, allow me to share with you his new blog that will focus on graphic design related topics, After Image.
