Sadly many of the remining items won't be happening before December 23rd, when this list retires, Having another baby and selling our old house and buying a new one put a small dent in the 101 progress. But that's life!
Items marked ** were completed in a roundabout way (not in the way I had intended when I made the list), or attempted and failed...so I'm not counting them!
