Guess Where I Was When I Took This Photo?

How well do you know Cupertino? Tell me where I was standing when I took this photo.

Here I am again with this week’s , and I have a whole new attitude—defeatist.

I know I can’t fool some of you; you’ve proven that to me time and again. So, I accept that defeat and carry on. Since I know one of you out there (probably Andrew or David Fung, the great Cupertino sleuths…or Bob M…or Gary…or Mason…) will guess this one right away, I’m going to ask you to tell me how you figured out what the building was.

What was the distinguishing factor in this seemingly nondescript building?

For those who are new to the game, Guess Where I Was When I Took This Photo is purely for giggles. I take a picture of what I think is a bland-looking building (or a portion of it) while standing somewhere in Cupertino. Then I ask readers to show off how well they know Cupertino by identifying the building or rather the spot where I was standing when I took the picture.

Bob M got so good at it that I accused him of following me around town. Now I have to think Andrew and David Fung are doing the same thing. Hey, come to think of it, I did run into the whole family at Maker Faire. Hmmmmm.

A reminder, for Mason McCarty's comic strip. His character

Let the guessing (or identifying) begin!

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
