Guess Where I Was When I Took This Photo?

How well do you know Cupertino? Can you tell by looking at this photo where I was standing when I took the picture?

Here's how it works. I stand somewhere in, or on the border, of Cupertino with my handy-dandy little point-and-shoot camera in hand and do just that; point and shoot.

I aim at those non-descript buildings that could be found on any Main Street in America. (Speaking of Main Street, there's a public meeting on that project May 9 at the Hilton Garden Inn from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.) Then, you smart people who know Cupertino best, guess where I was standing and what the building is in the picture. So far, people seem to know Cupertino very well, because I haven't fooled anyone yet.

Yes, I've tinkered with this photo (thanks Photoshop!) because if I don't the wise guys (and they really are wise!) guess where I was standing without being challenged at all. Where's the fun in that? Besides, I have to do what I can to torment my nemises —he's just too clever for me.

Don't worry, I'm not really having battles with anyone...Arnie is actually the clever creation of Cupertino's own cartoonist, . Please check out the series he created and give him a round of applause for his amusing addition to my game. While I'm singing his praises, check out all the other cartoons he's contributed—this guy is good.

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.
