Measuring My Life in Teaspoons

The entries in The 1000 Places to See Before You Die are not numbered.

Nevermind the fact that I don't know if I'm getting my money's worth (what if there are only 998 places to see?!) more importantly I have no way of keeping track.

Okay, so Ms. Schultz...Patricia...probably didn't consider Bloggers when she wrote the book. No problem I will number the sites as I come to them. Oh oh, problem. The fact is I am going to work my way through the book in two different ways.

1. I am going to try and see all of the places in the book.

2. I am going to read the book from front to back. (This seems rather important so that I will know what it is I need to see.)

Obviously these will not happen simultaniously. No matter how slow I read. So it seems to me that I need TWO numbering systems. One for the order of the places in the book and one for the completed places on my list.

So until and unless I come up with something better here is my simple numbering system. I will assign each listing a Book Number to be designated in green and a Completed Number to be designated in red.

That way I can keep track of the entries in the book and also keep track of the Places I have seen.

Yeah, that sounds easy.

PS - Does anyone know where I got the title from?
