"The List"


This is a list of things that I want to do or accomplish.  Some people call it a bucket list, a life list, 101 in 1,001 (I realize that is a little bit different as there is a time limit on it), but for now I'm just going to call it "The List".  I'll be documenting everything that I do on my blog (click the item on the list to take you to the blog post), and adding new items whenever I come up with them.  Feel free to follow along on my blog and if you have any suggestions or your own list, please leave the link in a comment!
