This may look like a prize pack on a kids game show, but it is actually the result of my using 150000 Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum points on the super points weekend.

In truth, this wasn't all 'free'. The Wii cost $269, and I could only discount $200 off. The three games (plus the 'classic' controller, not shown) were covered by the second $200 redemption, but you still have to pay taxes. I guess all told I probably paid $125 for all this stuff. Still, a pretty good deal.

(sorry friends, no Wii Fits were in stock)

It's on the trail that runs south of the Speed River, on Cutten Club land (hence the cache name).

Pretty cool, huh?

Also, can I get a "what what"?
Also, can I get a witness?
Also, cocks.

In the end, I took the giant Rock Band box to the till, and walked out with a much lighter wallet, but a box full of fun. (We won't get into how I could justify the cost, given my current financial situation.)

You probably want a review of the game. Ok, here it is: I rock. After playing the game, I've discovered that I don't want to work, I just want to bang on the drums all day. Yeah, I can finally relate to that old cliche.  Playing a fake guitar is fun, sure, but banging on shit is visceral. You feel like a two-year-old that just found the pot cupboard.

Hell, Rock Band has even turned S into a musician, which is no small feat, I'll tell you - I'm not being mean here, she's a fine vocalist, and she's slowly finding her inner rhythm. It just all happened to be repressed before, and is now coming to the surface. And all this from a video game.

It's a good thing that it's in Guelph and not London.

K--- brought the GPS, we consulted with www.geocaching.com and found 5 close-by cache sites. We spent the next two hours hunting down our little treasures: near the covered bridge, near the Garbagosaurus, and along the river. Sometimes they are hidden in the ground, behind rocks or in trees. They are almost always camouflaged. S and I are hooked now. It's pretty exciting to finally find the item, after a lengthy search. In the case of K---'s GPS, it was often metres away from the target, so could only get us so close before we had to rely on eyes and clues. Since we were relative novices, we often needed the extra hint to figure out where it was. When we got back home, we went back to the site and checked off that we found it, and thanked the cache's creator - they made it and they maintain it.

In the world of geocaching, anyone that isn't a geocache hunter is known as a muggle, and they are to be kept in the dark about the treasure. That means stealth (like a ninja) and cunning (like a pirate). And dressing in all black. Or camo, if that's your thing.

If your interest is piqued, talk to S or I in the coming weeks, and we can take you out with us. I suspect you'll be hooked too. If you sign up on geocaching.com, S and I's teamname is cardinalfang, add us as your friend.
