Why Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America?
As governments, tobacco companies, and Whitney Houston have long known, influencing kids when they’re young is the key to changing our world in the future. BBBS provides caring mentors who can model successful habits, behaviors, and productive ways of thinking for at-risk children, helping to break cycles of poverty, abuse, neglect, and incarceration.
Is this a treasure hunt for a proxy item?
No. What you’re describing isn’t a treasure hunt. It’s a hunt for an otherwise worthless item that you can redeem for a prize of some sort. Proxy item hunts are made by people who don’t want to risk anything for people who just want to find something. That’s fine, but no, that’s not what this is.
Is this a treasure hunt for real treasure?
Are you kidding me? Have you, even for a moment, considered the potential web of legal ramifications of hiding almost anything of significant value nearly anywhere in the continental U.S.? Trust me, it’s staggering. Absolutely staggering. Any associated traceable objects, of value or not, would inevitably lead back to you. Well-intentioned interviews, public statements, publicity photos, private communications, and more would be turned against you. No, it is my position that the only good way to have a treasure hunt for real treasure is to not have one at all. That said, all of life is a treasure hunt and you can indeed find real treasure via a thorough examination of YOURS.
What if I have other questions?
I would suggest reading the book again. The answers are there.
This seems hard. I feel stuck.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Take a break for a while. Sleep on it. As with most everything else, moderation is key.
I noticed some typographical and/or grammatical errors in the journal.
It is written by a fool. What did you expect? None are intentional or significant in any way, and I hope you're able to divine my intent without breaking your immersion too much. There's enough to consider without having to wonder about the placement of a comma, a missing word, transposed letter, or poor grammar. That isn't fun to me. I would never do such a thing on purpose. Despite my best efforts, a few errors survived the editing process. Do your best to ignore them.
My copy of the limited leather bound journal is missing a few pages. Does that matter?
Is it? Apologies, if so. I've yet to see a completely missing leaf (4 pages), but I have untied a bundle to rearrange five leaves to get the page order correct in a couple. Correct your keepsake version this way if you want. These were hand collated and bound without page numbers (they hated me for this), so I'm sure there are some irregularities. Don't ascribe any significance to these. You can use the leather bound journals, but the comb-bound version is certainly a better working copy.
I logged into this website, but it isn't tracking my purchases and it says there are private pages!
There's nothing significant about this website, or anything you need to do here. You don't need an account, the site will not track your orders or anything else, I don't receive any messages sent from here, and there are no private pages.
Any other advice?
Keep things as simple, direct, and concrete as you can. There might be a lot going on, but I don't consider this a complicated or convoluted puzzle. Any potential solve should reflect that. If you're new to this kind of thing, I recommend viewing this video on the different sorts of bias that will lead most astray of the intended path: https://youtu.be/XFzM7Nn7_AY?si=XEZyxsgm9Ajl-M82 .
How can I contact you?
You can't, and my thanks in advance for not trying. If you enjoy my work, you can let me know by sharing it with a friend who decides to participate, or by making a direct donation to BBBS in my name. Lisa is more accessible, and I think receiving your compliments on her contribution to this project would make her day. If I have anything to add, I'll post it here somewhere for everyone so you might check back occasionally.
