Just Over 100

I have spent the last two days compiling a list of 101 Goals in 1001 Days. This was an idea I picked up from a post on one of my favorite blogs, The Simple Dollar(http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/05/04/101-goals-in-1001-days/). For the sake of sharing and simply putting it out there, here is my list:
