Hey Everyone!

I am sooo burned out from working these clues! Heres my 2 cents... The reference to bold could have something to do with the bold letters in the first clue. Goodluck = Duck Logo. Ducks - Might Ducks - Hockey - Ice Arena or Hockey Jersey... Just a thought. I'm not sure

funny, though, how 99 bottles of champagne on the walls just doesn't have the ring to it, does it? kinda like 99 cans of frozen orange juice concentrate on the wall.

The STUPID phone kept saying, "(W)Ringer silenced."

I've no idea what it meant.

Also, it kept saying, "Missed." This does not bode well for me in The Hunt...

Dad, can I get it to ring longer?

No bold has something to do w/ a small park, something no one would think of this year...

Hi Annette!

I do like the idea of a downtown hunt. It's been a long time.

Of course I'd like just about anything if we could just figure it all out!

I ran down to the Capital Tonight. CROWS everywhere.

Anyway, I laughed on the way back up by the Cathedral. Did you know that St. Paul HAS THE FIRST SCHOOL Crossing in the WORLD. There is a flag commemorating it.

On Sat night, I told SantaDave I thought it would be downtown, but he corrected me. There is not enough parking.

I really do want it to be downtown, but could an old timer like him be wrong? :)

Green - the missed calls were me. I kept getting some chick that said your voice mail box isn't set up yet.

one of those cheap-o's from qwest? my parents got one of those shared minutes plans. when they've got the keypads locked, the ringer never rings, and the calls roll around between the phones and their home line. it's really a pain, too.

There was enough parking for the Kellogg hunt - of course I was at Harriet Island that year thinking all those fools up there were nutz.

yeah i finally remembered my password!! Yes, i like the idea of downtown and last night someone cited the pot o gold on Kellogg. (although kind of hellish to try to find parking to hunt). Anyways back to waiting for the clue. Later!!

Maureen! Hello! Nice, so nice, to see you again!

Leela, Terry's wrong all the time!

Ares, smarty... I've no idea what this phone does. Dad programed it for me. The store said it could vibrate, in case I was in "church."

You should have SEEN the look I gave the guy! A)... Oh, never mind! B) I don't go to church!

when i was still at the u, i carried a pager from my previous job. one of my professors had a penchant for "extending" his classes. i got tired of this, and every day had one of my office computers send me a page at 1205, and i left the pager on loud mode intentionally :). it didn't take long.

Holcumbe Circle is the circle mentioned in the Hunter's Guide. Of course I think circle has to do with a street nearby

Ittiz from Verizon, Mr. Ares.

Thanks, Allison.

Purrfect sense. NOT!

One o'these days I'm gonna get over this obsession and QUIT doing this to myself!

circular thinking... reminds me of the tommy lee jones line in under seige about the differences between a movement and a revolution. circular -> revolution -> lexington?

Circles end where they begin, possibly a reference to Highland
