The List

  Well, this is the list.  As of this writing, it is woefully incomplete.  Yeah, smart guy, you try to plan the next two and three quarter years of your life in less than two weeks.  I have not decided when different projects will occur, though I do know that for my own ease, many (not all) of the Physical Challenges will be in warmer seasons, and I will be trying to not do too many of the same category in a row.  If you see one where you would like to provide assistance (training, advice, workout partner), and you live in the Halifax, Nova Scotia area, let me know.  Also, please feel free to offer suggestions of projects you think would be A) a meaningful and valid way for me to better myself, or B) a nice hot cup of Schadenfreude for you.  C'mon, a hundred is a big list.  Remember the laziness.

  You'll probably also notice that many of these will seem nigh impossible for me, given what you've read, or more likely know about me personally, as I believe my audience is the friends who encouraged me to do this.  Some of these will require Prerequisite Projects.  Many in the Physical Challenge category are dependent on previous projects.
