101 Goals in 1001 Days

Since I've visited all 50 states, I need something new to which I aspire. Inspired by my friend @Bolivina, I've created a list of 101 goals to complete in 1001 days. At first, I thought it was silly to have 'Make a list of 101 goals to complete in 1001 days.' as my first goal. Three hours later, I appreciate the chance to check it off.

I'm starting this journey on June 19, 2011. It will be completed on March 16, 2014.
