I did much more of this list than I thought I would in 2004.
I lost track of it a little bit after the Summer but I’m going to try to take another crack at it for 2005. There’s no way I’m going to get to 105 items, but I bet I can get to 50 comfortably, especially with the batch I’m going to recycle from 2004.
I got 39 of them done. Not great, but far from slacking, IMO.
I’m looking forward to making 2005’s list. Maybe I’ll get it posted before Valentine’s Day this year…
