101 Goals in 1001 Days

Okay Martin, you can put 1 for 5 for one of your goals.

Over dinner with Martin and Ari one night, Martin was telling me of this "101 goals in 1001 days" thing, and I thought it was pretty interesting. And motivating. And I need a boost for my motivation to get goin, cuz lately I've been a-slackin...

This would officially be #1"Make the List" because by golly it was quite a task just to create the list! Yes, Martin, I did copy-cat you on this one. The list started out with big goals, full of meaning, and not easily achieved. Then as I got to number twenty something, I realized that I would be lucky if I even got to 50. So I've mixed it up a bit, with the big goals and little goals, and have compiled what I have below. I look forward going on this "journey of many journeys" with you guys... all two of you as of today... maybe that number will change eventually. We shall see...
