I am certainly a sucker for a meme, but since I have added a state or two since I last played I figured I should update. There are a few holes to fill, but I am getting there...



I am not going to do the world map, since it is paltry the number of countries I have been to, and I would rather have a bit more red in the map before I post a global ( Read more... )

WAY behind on posting, but then a near paralyzing stomach bug can do that to a feller. Anyway, since so many others did it, I will be a good lemming...

When you love an idea, you'll work hard for it, sometimes even dropping whatever it is you're doing to go on to the next new great thing that's captured your imagination.
