Places to Go, People to See. [Updated with Pictures]

Flying West over the United States for winter break 2007. I met Birch a few days later. Thank you, World.

Our family is sick. I seem to be the least hard hit, but Birch and little Keats are struggling. Hanging out in a steam-filled bathroom, taking warm baths, and drinking lots and lots of fluids has helped, but our poor little guy is so pitiful with his super running nose, wet cough, heavy breathing, and just general sadness throughout the day and night. Naps are frequent, but short. Birch is home from work today, trying to get well fast so that he doesn't use up too many sick days. My parents have kindly offered us a humidifier so we'll go pick that up today.

Weirdly enough, I seem to be getting more done today than any day this week. With Keats napping so much and with Daddy home, I've done laundry, cleaned the living room and bathroom, cleared out most of the debris in the yard, clipped some plants back a bit, and eaten two whole meals including tea! Wowsa.

On to the main event of the day: This is Post #100! To celebrate, I'm making a list of one hundred things I'd like to accomplish this year, separated out into four categories which I'll spread out over the next four days. So to start us off:
