New list!
Okay. Here's the deal, I'm re-doing my 101 list. There are several reasons: I haven't been good keeping up with me list, my life has changed in ways I haven't expected, and I want different things. So I'm not giving up, but I am revising my list.
Also, because of the re-do, and because of BMT, I am adding 63 days to my end date to give myself back the time I couldn't control but that I lost.
