List of 100


Too busy to post much, but I want to talk about books found and read, about a conference attended and skills picked up, about the upcoming visit to the Lyme doctor, about the paper published about Lyme Disease and how important it is to keep pushing for early diagnosis, and to mention the upcoming delegation to the Region next week .... but .... work gets in the way. So ....

Hovering above a manatee
Found this list on the blog of my friend John -- the idea is to see how many of these you have done! Those you have, you make bold and those you haven't you leave alone. I'm going to be complicated and use italics for some still on my Bucket list or just got close to! Here goes:

** UPDATE: It wouldn't show the non-bold entries, so changed to have the ones done, be strike through. The ones not done, are left alone. Sometimes too much technology thinks it knows what the author wants!

Excellent! After doing mine I realised I had in fact been transported by ambulance but as I was unconcious at the time I hadn't remembered! :-) And under your definition I've been fired from a job too - was thinking more of being summarily dismissed rather than being made redundant.
