It's just a game

On the year of my birth, Norway contributed to the Eurovision song contest with the song "It's just a game". As such, it is a reminder to me to concentrate on the projects I see as play. Such as this one.

Introduction

I do not actually live near the route anymore. I used to, of course. I was there. In the car. Driving. But now, far away. 600 km off track.

Purpose

In 2005, I went on a road trip round the Baltic Sea. One of my ideas then was that this adventure would spawn more than just the road trip itself. It did, unexpectedly, cause me to get married. There was a calendar in 2008 based on the photos I took, but the book has not yet emerged.

The other "project" I wanted out of this, was to have representatives from locations along the route to join in on a joint blog that would give an insight into the diversity of life that I only got a glimpse of during the road trip.

I do not have enough connections to do this, however. I need bloggers to join in from:

• Finland: Pello, Kemi, Oulu, Muhos, Vaala, Kajaani
