Congrats! Onto the next 500!
Thanks! At the current rate, I'd say it'll be another 2.5-4 years to hit #1000.
How many on the list are left?
In the 3 years and 2 months since I listed out the 102 goals, I've completed 10 of them. So I've got 92 remaining. Many of them will likely never be completed. But I say, "Dare to dream the impossible."
