The 101 in 1001 list is a list of 101 goals to accomplish in the next 1001 days.  This list is comprised of things that I have always wanted to do but have not.  One or two things on the list are things that I have not done in a very long time but want to again.  I would like to have less selfish goals…maybe next time.
