I’ve been playing on foursquare a lot lately. It’s so pointless, yet so fun. Everywhere I go, I check in. I’ve checked in at about four or five local bridges, and am thinking of going up to the peninsula this weekend just so I can check in on the Monitor-Merrimac bridge-tunnel. I want to go to a cupcakery in Hilltop to see if it will give me the Cupcake badge, or if I need to visit a few more cupcake places (there are only two around here, sadly, and I’ve already been to the other one). I’m mayor of my house and my kids’ speech clinic. I have several badges and on the way to several more.

There really seems to be very little purpose to this thing, though, I have to admit. It’s sort of like a game. But now I want to go somewhere, so that I can check in to local places somewhere else. I keep thinking how fun it would have been to be foursquaring while I was in Hawaii or San Diego, or up in Maine. In two weeks, I’ll be down in Florida for Infinitus, and I’m going to be checking in left and right down there. I can’t wait. In the meantime, I’m looking for somewhere interesting I can go this weekend so I can get some new check-ins. I’m almost at the 25 check-ins badge.
