    Wow! What a neat list. It's energetic and sensible and goal oriented and challenging. Blessings to you as you keep tackling the achievements! It takes some real diligence to go back and mark the items complete -- but it's a satisfying task, isn't it?! Your 101 things in 1001 days reminds me of the Julie/Julia Project and how she had her 536 recipes in 365 days counting down on her blog. (That, by the way, is in my top three movies of all time.)
