Current Progress: 06/100
Last Update: 11 April 2013

This is sort of a micro-bucket list. Here’s 100 adventures I’m hoping to have accomplished within the timeframe of 1,001 days. These adventures began in September of 2012, so that gives me until 25 June, 2015 to see how many I can get done!

Oh, and as an added bonus, for each unaccomplished items on this list on that date, I’ll be sending $5 to LiNK, a non-profit pursuing an end to the North Korean crisis, so it’s okay to root against me.
