101 in 1001

The mission is to come up with 101 goals to complete in the next 1001 days. Why so long? Because some goals need to go over multiple seasons. Because sometimes we need more time to get to where we want to be. And because it just sounds cool. I first got the idea from Kristina who got the idea from someone else, and so on and so on as it goes with blogging type things. Here is an original challenge here (as best as I can figure it).
