As Geoff Would Say, “Balls!”

When explorer and author Wendy Booker reached the North Pole at the end of April, she had the first kangaroo bits to make it that far north in her pocket.  On Tuesday’s show, Craig had a picture of them… complete with a Santa hat (Wendy’s team sent us the photo at left).  It doesn’t get much better than that.  Booker is returning home and we hope she’ll be back on the show sometime soon!  You can read Wendy’s posts from her trip on her website.
