101 Things ... an update.

As of today, I am officially 495 days into my 101 Things list. I would say that my level of accomplishment is pathetic, but I won't. I still have over 600 days left; however, I think I might have to get cracking on this list.

Since the last time I updated, I ticked a few things off the list. Some things were small (#66: spend a day at the beach), others not so small (#77 ... I'm looking at you); however, so far I've had no complaints about completing any of them.
