Some people call me awesome. Some people call me an a-hole. Some people say I know what I’m doing. Others say I’m an idiot. I don’t know. The only thing I know is this.
90.
That’s the number of cities in Kansas I have PERSONALLY been to and blogged about. Restaurants. Museums sometimes. Animal rescues sometimes. Fundraisers. Festivals. The list goes on.
Sometimes I truly wonder whether it’s worth doing. I’m not trying to be famous. This isn’t and will never be my “real” job. It’s my hobby and maybe something else — and it’s a damn tiresome and expensive hobby. On the other hand — I’ve gained so many AWESOME friends.
But the one thing I think I contribute is that number. 90. Going to places that don’t always have a voice (or perhaps a loud voice?). I love that. That’s what keeps me going.
Here’s the 90 cities: Andover, Arkansas City, Arlington, Ashland, Augusta, Belle Plaine, Benton, Buhler, Burrton, Cheney, Cimarron, Colby, Coldwater, Colwich, Coolidge, Copeland, Council Grove, Cunningham, Derby, Dodge City, Douglass, El Dorado, Ellinwood, Emporia, Ford, Fredonia, Garden City, Garden Plain, Goodland, Grainfield, Great Bend, Greensburg, Haven, Haviland, Hays, Haysville, Hugoton, Hutchinson, Ingalls, Inman, Johnson City, Kansas City, Kechi, Kingman, Kinsley, Lakin, Larned, Latham, Lawrence, Leawood, Leon, Liberal, Lindsborg, Macksville, Maize, Manhattan, McPherson, Meade, Montezuma, Moundridge, Mullinville, Mulvane, Newton, Overland Park, Park City, Parsons, Pittsburg, Pratt, Protection, Rock, Saint Francis, Salina, Satanta, Sawyer, Sedgwick, Spearville, Stafford, Strong City, Sublette, Syracuse, Topeka, Towanda, Ulysses, Valley Center, Wellington, West Mineral, Wichita, Wilson, Yoder and Zenda.
So — now I’m going to watch a scary movie. Because I like them.
