I also thought this was an excellent opportunity to tease some news I will hopefully be able to share soon. For those of you who have known me awhile, the clues are in the photo, a couple of the bolded points, and one that isn't bolded...but really wants to be. ;)
Thank you, Vesper! I enjoyed this one.

Like playing Clue! Naughty. ;)
I have to say that one point really struck at me. Somehow, I'm kind of offended, like man, that has to be fixed.
Holding a praying mantis.
Yeah, I'm weird.
Oh, you tease! ;)
Haven't eaten caviar yet, eh?....
FYI, I'm going to post my version over the weekend. I don't want to interrupt further discussion on my current post quite yet.
:o)
Jason, I'll have to remedy that one. I do like the little buggers. :)
And yes, I couldn't resist cheating a little! So bad...
Aine, I haven't eaten caviar, no. Why, do you have something in mind? ;)
Can't wait to see your version, too! This was fun.
(Weird how when I hit "show original post" on the comments that some of the points don't show up bolded like they should...especially #12. ;))
:D Yeah.. I noticed that too! As if Blogger knows something you don't....
Oh Oh Oh!!!!!!!!!!! Is it what I think it is?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UM?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Oh I am really excited!!!!!!!
You're going to fly in a helicopter?
Aine, sneaky Blogger... ;)
Ello, my lips are (mostly) sealed! I just like being coy. :D
(psst...but thank you for the enthusiasm!!)
Charles, THAT'S IT!!!
LOL @ Charles' guess!
Um, is it "flying in a helicopter to free a praying mantis while eating caviar?"
Can't wait for updates!!!!!
:-)
This was fun! You have been to some fascinating places in the world. I am not a world traveler because I am afraid to fly. (Well, I'm not actually afraid of flying...I'm afraid of crashing.)
You have piqued my curiosity, Sarah! Can't wait to hear your news! ;D
Chris, you'll be among the first to know! For sure. :)
K, I am also a nervous flyer. I've had to get over it to some extent, because as a child, we did a lot of back and forth from here to California. But it's still unsettling (and yes about the crashing part!).
Thank you! I'm sure I'll be able to share some good news soon. :)
Sarah, I hope it's No. 80 that will be bolded soon - that's sure to give you a perspective like the one shown in the photo. :-)
Thank you for playing, my dear friend.
And thank you, Vesper!!
Yes, I think you might be onto something... :D
