My Adventure Blog: The Beginning

The Beginning

This is my second attempt at creating a blog. My purpose in blogging is to create an outlet for sharing my adventures during my year off from work. I consider an adventure to be anything that is a new experience for me and noteworthy.

To summarize week 1:
-saw Corey Hart in concert (he was OK; I only heard about 1.5 songs)
-went to the Chin Picnic (it was a bit boring)
-walked to and from The Beach from my place with ease (now I know I can walk further distances)
-went to the Honda Indy (now that was quite cool; very fast and loud)
