101 Things To Do.

Cliched? Yes. But still, I'd like to have some way of seeing how much of what I wanted to do in the future will actually get done by the time I turn 40. I chose 40 because by then I'd like to think my life was in some sort of order and I'd have had time to do all these things. I'll probably think up more along the way, but these are what I'll be keeping a check on. Some of these seem easy, some seem more difficult, but I'll give it my best shot to do them all.
