How did we get into it? We bought a Garmin GPS and from that they had info on geocaching (since you need a GPS to do it). I was mildly familiar with geochacing because of a former colleague of mine, but aside from him telling me it exists I didn’t delve into much further.

How do you get into it? This site has been pretty useful, Geocaching.com. They explain how things work, the history behind geocaching, a very cool story on the first one and even encourage good environmental behaviour with their “Cache In Trash Out” initiative.

What’s it really like? Watch this video of our first adventure.

Now, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea…Hubby is NOT a parade guy that when he told me I thought I her was yanking my chain. He told me he wanted to support the martial arts club he recently joined and signed up.

I thought that was very admiral of him.

However, a friend at work, who has not missed a parade in 18 years, asked if Hubby was going to do a kata in the parade. It’s very customary for the cute little kids in their martial arts uniforms to stop walking and suddenly turn to the crowd and do their routine.

We both agreed that Hubby should do his kata. Keep in mind that the martial arts he is studying is krav maga with a side of jiu jistsu. Krav is….well, “an eclectic form of marital arts”, as Wikipedia so accurately puts. It’s more of a real life training in the sense that you are trained to maim and then get out. You know, for like spies and Isreli police.

There is no kata. But, I still encouraged him to do it. Let’s watch the video to see what happened:
