100 things about me

In true blog tradition, on the 100th post, I am supposed to post "100 things about me" so here goes my best effort.

Note: I wrote this list long ago (around the 80th post) weeks ago not realizing how long it would take me to post the last 20 or so posts. What I find now is that MANY of the items on the list have come to pass in one way or another and if you think I just wrote it, I didn't! I wrote them ALL before anything of the sort happened. M, this includes number 23 and we JUST had that conversation! Weird. I wonder if that happened to anyone else who has done the hundred. Power of suggestion perhaps.
