New Purpose for this Blog

So I have decided what the purpose of this blog will be (beyond getting participation marks in my ECMM 470 class).

As some of you may have heard, my life long goal is to visit every small town in Saskatchewan.  Some find this goal admirable and others laugh and say that's I'm crazy.  Either way, it is something that I have decided to do and have been working towards for the past 10 years or so.  I have a map, and I mark down the towns that I have visited.

I must say that with any good goal there are guidelines and rules as to what constitutes "visiting".  Sometimes simply driving past the town will count, but only if either you can see the entire town from the road way, or if some bit of town is located on either side of the highway (then you can say that you "drove through it").  If neither of these scenarios works then you must pull into the town and at least take a drive down Main Street.

Up until now, I have not been keeping a dated record of when I visited, a note about the town, or even a photo.  I have decided the this blog would be the perfect medium for keeping track of my goal.  I can catch up on towns that I have visited thus far (or at least provide my readers with a list and a small memory of town) and I can continue to keep track as the years go on.

I do admit that visiting every small town before I die is a lofty goal, but I hope that it will be an exciting adventure and that after I pass on that my children will continue the journey.
