Flawed and It's OK

This week's challenge is to start writing with "I have a flaw and it is..". I can't do that. Not because I can't think of any and not because I am too proud to share them, though pride is one of my biggest flaws.

Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a high tech treasure hunting sport using your GPS unit. The point of the game is to locate containers called a cache and document your find.
