101 things in 1001 days

I recently read about this web site http://www.dayzeroproject.com/ where people come up with lists of 101 things they plan to accomplish in 1001 days. The things don't have to be huge, but it kinda holds me accountable and helps remind me of things I want to do. So, I got started on my list a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, I am still not done! I have decided to start it now though. I figure my 1001 days starts today, June 1, 2009, and ends February 26, 2012 (if I did my math correctly). So, here's my list so far (72 things... the numbers didn't copy and paste well). I plan to update it on this blog fairly often.
