Revisions to my 101-in-1001

I just made some revisions to my 101-in-1001 List. These weren’t updates — as in actually completing various items — but, rather, fixing up or completely removing certain items because they’re now out of date from when I first wrote up the list.
First, I took out #11 [Start the LMGA’s first regular newsletter / magazine publication]. I had already started the groundwork on this getting this one started, but the project was later continued by and eventually completed by Stevie Nelson, Peter Gluck, and Kayla Thames-Berge. They deserve a tremendous amount of credit for the great job they’ve been doing with the official newsletter.
Second, I removed #27 [Fall in love. Get married] and #28 [Start having kids]. Don’t get me wrong. I definitely still want to marry and have kids, but I’ve been realizing lately that there’s no need to be in such a gosh darn hurry. Maybe it was as a consequence of turning 30 earlier this year that family life had been on my mind in recent months (my dad was 30 when I was born), but, really, isn’t 40 the new 30 anyway? Further, I’m just getting to the point in my career where I’ve been able to get paid travel to places like Virginia, Amman, and Utah, with even more exciting places to come. Why give all that up now? If a family happens sooner, then, fine, it happens, but, if not, I’ve got plenty of time!
I wrote in a (blank) tag on each of those three items on the list. If I think of a new goal later, I can fill in the blank spot, or, if not, then, hey, I just got three freebies!
