Today is the official start of my 101 in 1001 exercise. My plan is to keep up a steady pace on the minor items on the list, and plan ahead for the more significant items on the list. Today I made headway in 3 of the 101.
42. Read 50 books that I have not read before: I started reading volume 36 of the 33 1/3 series, Loveless by Mike McGonigal. I should have it finished by the weekend.
51. Save $1 cash each day for 1001 days: I grabbed $10 today when I went to Target. I'm going to save the cash in chunks rather than in single dollar bills, as it will be more convenient over time. My total is up to $10 at this point.
57. Clean out my anime Collection: Over the years, I have collected a number of anime DVDs. My interest in anime has waned recently, so I'm selling off my more esoteric titles on eBay and Amazon. I'll keep my favorite series and movies, but the vast majority of the collection has to go. At this point they are just collecting dust.
Today I have already sold off 3 titles, with bids on 5 more. This list item should be completed pretty quickly at this pace.

what a wonderful idea. we always have things on our minds that we want to achieve, but so rarely do we actually make a concerted effort to realize those goals. you're an inspiration - i just might do the same!
give me a call when you're ready for number 5.
