"101 in 1001" Update (6-1-2009)

This is an update on the "101 goals in 1001 days." So far it is going great. Six of them are fully completed (0.6%).You will have to look at each one to see the progress. However, I see one that needs some explaining.

Number 95 is not really a goal that one should be, publicly, trying to accomplish. But let me explain. I am a career firefighter, which means that one out of every three days I go to work at a station that is truly no different than a high school boys locker room (only with 25-50 year old men). So needless to say if one firefighter gets athlete's foot or something of that nature, we all get it. Also keep in mind that our bunker traps in more moisture than you would believe. Thus I am not ashamed of number 95. It is something that comes with the territory and IT WILL BE BEATEN.
