101 Things in 1001 Days

Here is my list of 101 to complete in the next 1001 days.  Some should be simple to complete, some will take much more time and effort.  My 1001 days will begin on Tuesday, January 1, 2008 and end on Tuesday, September 28, 2010.  Learn more about the challenge at Day Zero.  Many thanks to Eliza for the idea and inspiration.
