HIDE-AND-SEEK FOR ADULTS
Wondering what the latest fad to cross over the Atlantic? It'sLetterboxing!

We just went on a company scavenger hunt and it was a lot of fun, but I kept on thinking how much more fun it would be with my friends. (Please don't take offense collegues...oye) Basically Letterboxers are folks who go on an outdoor adventure that combines puzzle solving, exercise and mystery with a dash of competitiveness.

Supposedly 9000 letterboxes have been planted in state parks and nature areas around the U.S. Each waterproof box has a stamp and logbook. Folks that can find the letterbox mark the book with their stamp and then use the stamp from in the box to stamp their book -proving that they discovered it. Make sense?

Go to the Official Letterboxing Site and get your friends together and find a letterbox near you.

Star Wars 3 does not even open in theaters until May 2005 but with the announcement of the title, it has made the Lycos 50.

According to the official site...The title of the 3rd movie was publicly revealed to a packed audience of Star Wars fans at Comic-Con International in San Diego, CA...At the end of the Star Wars Spectacular presentation, Steve Sansweet revealed he was wearing a special T-shirt bearing the Episode III title, with a style reminiscent of the 1982 Fan Club Revenge of the Jedi logo.

Believe it or not I interviewed Steve Sansweet years ago, before he went to work for Lucasfilm. Sansweet had one of the largest collections of Star Wars memorabilia we I met him. I can only imagine how large it is now.
