This is my official 101 Things in 1001 Days page.  I figured this is going to take a while, so it needs more then just a post. I posted the original list on August 17th 2009 which would make my end date May 14th 2012 (both Mondays oddly enough).   Below is a count down to the end date.  I’ll scratch things off as I do them and feel free to suggest other activities to replace things I already do like “Plan the Yearly Tahoe Trip.”

And here are some more things that aren’t on this list but I definitely need to improve.  Why do I put all this information about myself on the web?  Honestly?  I really think it’s so I can organize all my thoughts into one place.  Plus, people will make fun of me for some of this stuff which actually reminds me I need to do it.
