Another 101 in 1001 update!

Another 101 in 1001 update... I think I have actually accomplished several more of these things (or at least started on them) in the past few months...


101 in 1001
The idea is 101 goals to meet/things to do in 1001 days...
1001 days will take me from today, January 10, 2009 to October 9, 2011
