Thanks to my friend Chris, I can scratch #106 off my list. This will be the first goal I have completed. Check out Chris's List at http://csquared101in1001.blogspot.com . Thanks Chris, hopefully the other ones will be disappearing from my list sooner rather than later.
I forgot to give a shot out to Candice who gave me the idea to come up with the list of 101 in 1001. Check out Candice's Blog at http://lovingmyjourney.wordpress.com

Let The Fun Begin
So a friend told me about this great concept of completing 101 tasks in 1001 days. I figured since I am what I consider to be "Bored to Death", why not give it a try. At first I thought I would be able to produce a list in no time, but soon realized I could barely hit 40. As they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I took to the net and the possibilities begin to grow. This is my first cut at the list, so I still have to make some of the items not so broad. Yes, I can count and I realize I have 126 items on my list !!!!! If you can do the math, then you know I have a higher probability of knocking 101 items off my list this way.
Let me know what ya think and if any of you want to help me knock the items off my list, let me know. And HELL NO !!!, I'm not paying for anyone's trips. Here goes nothing:
