100th Post

I can't believe I have made a 100 posts. I started out doing this for posterity. I keep meaning to journal and haven't been great at it but this is a fun and easy way to do it.

Then it became a great way to let family, far-flung around the country, keep up with our daily lives.

Then it became fun and relaxing, a hobby of sorts. And I've made virtual friends. So I guess it's good for everyone.

So for my 100th post here are 100 random thoughts. In no particular order.
