101 Goals in 1001 Days

Today I came across the Day Zero Project.  Basically, you make a list of 101 things you'd like to do in 1,001 days, or 2.75 years.  Sounded like something fun and interesting to do, so I'm giving it a try.

It literally took me 12 hours to figure out my list!  Some of the things on my list are easy, some will be quite difficult, and some were just for fun.  My plan is to blog each time I complete one of the goals.  
When a task is in progress, you will see it italicized, and after I complete a task, you will see it in bold.  Some of these tasks will take the duration of the whole 1,001 days - Today until November 17, 2014
