I don't think Wanda lists her counts to brag, its more like she's
sharing some personal information. She likes to meet other
letterboxers and she likes to talk about letterboxing, and she does
have a lot of time to pursue the hobby, but she also has a certain
philosophy about life that most "normal" people can't or won't ever
share.

In this wonderfully diverse world, some people need some extra slack
when it comes to others understanding them. Wanda is one of those. I'm
not knocking myself out trying to figure her as either a simple soul
living in a complex world, or a complex soul living a simple
life...she's just Wanda.

And she's not the only person in letterboxing that could leave you
scratching your head, we have a lot of unique friends here.

Love,
Aili
