I saw this idea on a blog I visited in the middle of the night last night (couldn’t sleep). When I figure out who is was I will give the link. The general idea is to list 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days. This will obviously have the be a work in progress; both the ideas and the accomplishments. Should be fun though and it is good for me to have a purpose. So, in no particular order or significance. . .
