I was on my way home from work, and called from the grocery store parking lot to let the family know I would be a few minutes late. "I am just stopping at the store to pick up some frozen dinners to take for lunches at work."
"Hold on a second, and I will see whether there is anything else we need . . . Have you got a pen and paper?"
I found a scrap of paper, and said "Ready!", and listened as the various family members called out their suggestions. Somewhere around the 15th item I called a halt to the onslaught, and suggested that anything else would have to wait until another trip.
About 45 minutes later, I arrived home with the purchases. While the others unpacked and put away the items, my spouse checked them off against the list: "Coffee, oat bran, eggs, rice, chips, salsa, chicken fingers, lamb chops, ice cream, eggplant, onions, carrots, radishes and lettuce . . . It's all here!"
"Great! Let's eat supper, and then I need to go out again," I said.
The others exchanged a knowing look: "Geocaching, I'll bet!"
"For once, that isn't it: you see, I need to pick up some frozen dinners . . ."

When you find the cache, you will see that I was able to recycle one of the containers.
