The List
So, as you saw below, the 101 things in 1001 days challenge was issued to me by a good friend, and while it has taken me a fairly long time to come up with my list of things, I am now pretty happy with it. I think most of these goals are achievable within the time frame. While I'm only posting it now, I've done some of these things already, so I'm starting my countdown on April 1, 2008, which gives me until December 28, 2010 to scratch everything off my list.
