Happy 1st Anniversary to me! It’s been one year since I began the Day Zero Project. Since my progress has been a bit stagnant recently, I thought that perhaps I hadn’t made much progress overall in my 101s. Then I began counting. Out of my 101s, 22 are multi-part goals. Damn the over-achiever in me! [...]
Since January 1st, I’ve made some progress on my 101: 27 completed, 20 in progress. Not bad! But in looking over my list, there are some items that just don’t interest me anymore. Tastes and goals change. It’s natural. Therefore, I’ve decided to replace these goals: 60. See a professional hockey game for the first [...]

They should try stay in the [...]
10. Try 5 foods I have never tried before. 15. Go to 5 new restaurants. After a long week of work, I think it’s torturous to make Alex cook on a Friday. Hence, we tend to eat easy-homemade meals (Steak Friday is popular) or we eat out. Earlier in the week, Alex (of I Cook, [...]
Some of you may have noticed the ClustrMap embedded in my blog. It logs where my readers access my blog. It makes me feel loved and important and confused. Many of these dots I can trace: New Jersey: my husband & mother (probably my most frequent readers), most of my friends and family. Pennsylvania: another [...]
64. Beat Alex 10 times (gaming). Some people spend money on collectibles. Others spend money on vacations or their cars. Alex and I spend our money on cardboard, plastic, and wood. Games. We spend our money on high quality, European-style games. This isn’t your traditional Monopoly or Clue or Scrabble. Although I have fond childhood [...]
