101 Things

I started my first 101 Things in 1001 Days list on 9/1/07 and actually finished a lot of it (although my list consisted of 55 things). Still, I got stuff done. That’s the point!

Today, I start a new/updated list. And I am posting it here with the intention of keeping it more in view of not only my eyes, but the eyes of the one or two readers I have. ;-0   So, I am holding myself accountable.

I will update weekly.

    I’m glad you referenced my image of the Merello Volta grave site on your list.
    I am including the link to the full size image for those who have large monitors.

    When you get to the above page, you may still be able to click on the image to zoom in for further detail. Take note of the birds hovering during the shot.
    Enjoy and thanks for the referrals.
    Best,
    Louis
