JIM PARSONS LOVED IT FIGURES
One of our regular customers, who is a late night television fan, emailed me this link to Jim Parsons' (Big Bang Theory) February 2 appearance on Craig Ferguson's talk show. I fell on the floor laughing! I've often heard this sort of thing over the years, but never from a fan who has himself become a HUGE star. Parsons has the genteel humility of a southerner and a grounded sincerity that is very appealing. And, like so many of our loyal It Figures viewers, he's smart. And it shows in what he brings to his popular character Sheldon, the super geek, on Big Bang Theory. Click the link below to see what Parsons said about his childhood love of It Figures.

Fall High Adventure 2008
For years I have been eyeing a prominent hunk of mountain overlooking the valley at the foot of Victoria Glacier. I figured it would offer an awesome view of the glacier and the famous Death Trap topped by the beloved Abbot Hut. This September at Fall High Adventure, I finally got there! Even our guide had never been up there, and the trail was severely overgrown. Here I stand on Pope's Prospect with veteran adventurer and professional photographer from Michigan, Cheryl Melamed. It was a thrill!
