Awhile back, several of our friends (Chelsea, Jake & Veronica, and Sarah) started 101 in 1001 lists. I started a list too but deleted it when I could only come up with 20 or so items. When Jake & Veronica posted their 37 in 1001, however, I decided we could post whatever number and still call it our 101 in 1001. Like Jake & Veronica, John also worked on this list with me. Anything that is unique to one of us is noted, everything else applies to both of us.

Thanks, Veronica. We stopped at 40 but then the last several just kept popping into my mind. It took us a couple hours to get the whole list done, though!

I look forward to reading it. Are you still updating the LJ or did you get a new blog? (I saw you mention maybe getting a new blog awhile back I think…)
