Category: 101 in 1001
Here’s a summary, by month, of the items that I completed from my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, during 2015: Month Items Completed Jan 58. Ski at Whistler 66. Take the Peak to Peak gondola in Whistler Feb 27. Update my address on every account I have by the time my […]
Item #92 on my 101 thing to do in 1001 days was “Get a journal article published”. And it turns out that my latest article, which I found out was accepted for publication a while ago, was just published in the Fall 2015 issue of the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation on Dec 22! Called […]
So I’m 372 days into the 1001 days of my latest “101 things to do in 1001 days” list (a.k.a., one year and one week or 37% of the way through) and at my latest count, I’ve achieved 25 of the 101 items (i.e., 24.75%). So while I’m a little bit behind, I have been making […]
So it’s just past the halfway point in the year and I figure that means it’s a good time to do a check-in on my goals for the year! Of my 15 goals, 4 goals are completed: Organize all my closets Set up a new investment plan Pay off 7.5% of my mortgage principal – I’ve actually […]
Item #46 (Go to Nova Scotia) has officially been knocked off my list of 101 things to do, as I am currently sitting in a hotel in Halifax writing this posting. I am here for a two day conference, during which I will be presenting some of my research. But since I left last night […]

A blog posting over on Rick’s blog reminded me that it’s the end of Q1 for 2015 and this a good time to check in on how I’m progressing on my 2015 goals! My first 4 goals were running related: run 2 half marathons – I’ve registered for (and am actively training for) the BMO […]
“Ski at Whistler” was on my very first list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, which I wrote in the old timey days of 2009. Somehow, I went through those 1001 days without managing to ski at Whistler. Then I totally thought I put “Ski at Whistler” on my second list of 101 […]
Seeing as the end of the year is fast approaching, I’m starting to work on my typical year-end blog postings. And in doing so, I’m looking at my goals for 2014, which I haven’t looked at in quite a while, to see how well (or how poorly!) I’ve done on those goals. While there will […]
And speaking of things that are long overdue for posting, I have been remiss in writing a congratulatory posting to my friend, Patrick Johnstone, on his recent election to New Westminster City Council. As you may recall from this posting, I was helping out on Pat’s election campaign because I thought he’d make an excellent city councillor […]
