In recent weeks, I have completed a few more items on my 101 List.
On June 9th, Elizabeth surprised me with #75, a rock-climbing class at Boulderdash. The picture at right shows me traversing the room, but we also learned vertical climbing and belaying. We got a great workout and had a lot of […]

It took over twenty months, but, in the last few weeks, I finally completed three 101 items: #19 (Finish the renovation of the guesthouse), #21 (Purchase a third investment property), and #31 (Throw a big party in 2008 to celebrate four years in Los Angeles). As it worked out, the same project ended up […]

Last night (and I really do mean all night long), I worked as an actor in an upcoming new movie, thus completing my 101 item #12, “Get a speaking part in a movie or TV show, just for the fun of it.”
Technically, though, this role was not actually a speaking part, but I am still […]

Catching up on my 101 in 1,001 List, here are the latest updates from the last couple of weeks:
#49 — Obtain copies of silent films written by Charles Darnton and learn more about his career. — Over the Christmas break, I watched the new DVD of The Iron Horse, directed by John Ford, which, as […]

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in actually completing various items — but, rather, fixing up or completely removing certain items because they’re now out of date from when I first wrote up the list.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 / […]

On Saturday evening, I got home and found in my mailbox a ten-page report from the City of Los Angeles. Long story short, the permits and variances for my guesthouse have finally been officially approved. It took sixteen months to get it all done!
This means that I can now start the actual physical […]

Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I went back to see my family in the San Francisco Bay Area where I completed two of my 101 List items.
The original list item #83 said to go to the top of one of the Golden Gate Bridge towers, but, unfortunately, that’s just not allowed anymore due to superfluous […]

It’s time once again to catch up on some recent 101 in 1001 items, starting with Saturday night when I went to the Queen Mary in Long Beach with my parents. They were here overnight in order to leave on a Mexican cruise the next morning. We looked around the ship and eventually […]

I’ve got a few more 101 List updates.
I completed item #2 which said to make my Go For Websites company profitable. I officially started it in December 2005, and, at my lowest point on 17 June 2006, I was several thousand dollars in the red. I’ve been growing the company steadily, though, to […]

I’ve got a few updates from my 101 list.
I recently completed item #94 in that I bought a brand-new lawnmower and leaf blower, thus meaning that I was able to get rid of the Mexican gardener who’d been coming every Wednesday. I’m glad for that because, even though he was cheap, the work done […]

I completed item #14 today by finally renewing my American Red Cross certification in First Aid, CPR, and AED. The last time I’d taken the class was four years ago, back when I was still in Northern California. At that time, I was also doing disaster relief through them, but that’s something that, […]

Last weekend, Danny Granville and I drove up to San Francisco to run the Bay-to-Breakers race again, completing 101 list item #32 which said that I needed to “get my best time ever”. I didn’t quite do that, but I just revised that entry to say “get one of my best times ever”. […]

I just completed item #15 on my 101 List. I compiled a list of productions which credited me on screen. That was easy enough!

After wrapping Alvin and the Chipmunks early last week, I flew with Melanie to Hawaii [we’ve since broken up, though] which completed my 101 list item #56 (while also bringing me a step closer to completing item #51).
We only stayed for three nights, but it was enough to see most of the island of Oahu. […]

I’m doing a little bit of catch-up on my blog this morning. It turns out that in the last few months, I’ve completed various items on my 101 list.
Back on 21 February 2007, I did list item #3 when I started the process, now completed, of incorporating Go For Locations as an official company. […]

Back on December 18th, I started one of those 101 in 1001 lists. This is basically an itemization of big and little goals that I want to accomplish in the next two and a half years. See the actual list page for more details.
Already now, I’ve completed six items. I started this […]
