It's been a very exciting and eventful week-and-a-half. Claudia and I took a vacation to Seattle, and I managed to finish off a few items on the list.
1. Buy a good quality camera (COMPLETED): I bought a Nikon CoolPix L11 digital camera. I had wanted an SLR camera, but they were out of my price range, and I realized that the purely digital camera would end up being easier to use in the long run. I decided to get it because I wanted to take pictures of my trip, and to use for work, both of which were happening sooner than later. With the 2 GB super SD card, I can hold over 8200 pictures of PC quality before I have to send the pictures to my computer.
39. No fast food for 90 days in a row: Because of the trip to Seattle, my access to fast food was seriously curtailed. My official start date is 6/12/2007 and the end of the window arrives on 9/9/2007. If I can make it for the whole 90 days, I expect that I won't be tempted to eat fast food after September 9th.
51. Save $1 cash each day for 1001 days: I set aside another $7, bringing my total to $107.
57. Clean out my anime collection: I listed the last 9 items from the pile of eBay candidates. If all 9 sell, then I will have completed this item.
81. Travel to Seattle (COMPLETED): Claudia and I spent 4 days in Seattle for vacation. The trip was amazing, and I took a large number of photos. I will cover this topic in a separate post.
95. Complete 100 expert level Sudoku games without hints: I completed 3 more games, bringing my total to 30 of 100.
101. Try 10 wines I have not had before: Claudia and I were killing time in the Seatac airport and we came upon a wine store that featured wines from Oregon and Washington. Since we had extra time, we tried two flights of wine. We ended up buying a bottle for my sister and her boyfriend, and a couple for ourselves based on the tastings.
- Van Duzer Pinot Gris, Oregon, Estate 2005
- Adelsheim Pinot Blanc, Oregon, Willamette Valley 2005
- Apolloni Pinot Noir, Oregon, Estate 2005
- Powers Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Champoux Vineyard 2004
- Fidelitas Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Estate 2004
- Woodward Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Artist Series #12 2003
We purchased a couple of bottles of the Van Duzer, and one bottle of the Apolloni.
