My 100th post

I tossed around several ideas for my 100th post. Then a dear friend gave me the idea to write a list of 100 goals. Some are big, some are small. Will I complete them all? I have no idea. And don't worry, I won't make a list of 200 goals when I hit 200 posts. These are in a completely random order:
