New and Improved 101 in 1001...

Some of you might remember I did a 101 in 1001 list a few years ago. That is 101 things I want to do or accomplish in the next 1001 days. After months of working on my list (and being too lazy to post it), I have an all new 101 in 1001 list for you. You can always check my progress by checking the tab at the top of my page (New and Improved 101 in 1001). I'm going to hopefully be better about updating you on how I'm doing on it.
