After reading

scarlet_arts posts about "101 Things in 1001 Days" I decided to give it a try. I joined

jan1_2008 and plan on posting my progress both there and here.

How this works is you come up with a list of 101 things you want to do in 1001 days and then do them. I like my list, though I sort of feel like I am cheating because the last 30 or so are reserved for a monthly addition. However, I know that I will stumbled across things I wish I had added to the list.

I'll tell you about each task when I complete it, because it would take way too much time for me to write about each one individually right now.
