Today, in honor of my birthday, I jumped out of an airplane from 14,000 feet above beautiful Illinois farm country, completing #17 on my list of 101 in 1001. We had originally been scheduled to go last night, but storms in the area pushed us until this morning. We got there a little [...]

When I made this goal on my 101 in 1001 list, I was thinking about the trips that I took growing up. We would stay in hotels along the highway and stop off at places of interest along the way to our ultimate destination. It is a different kind of trip then just [...]

Two weekends ago, I completed #8 on my 101 in 1001 list: visit Starved Rock State Park.* While there were several pretty parts of the park, I really think that we went at the wrong time of the year. In the winter there are bald eagles and later in the spring/summer, I imagine [...]

The only [...]

You may recall that in March 2008, I made a list of 101 things I wanted to accomplish in the following 1001 days. Well, wouldn’t you know it, time has passed (as it has a pesky way of doing) and what seemed like a far off distant time is actually the end of this [...]

Happy June! This is my favorite month of the year. It has my birthday, it is usually sunny and warm, but not hot, and it always makes me want to watch baseball.
This June I decided that I am going to try to make some more progress on my 101 in 1001 list, [...]
