So not only did I get to visit my cousin Scott in Park City… not only did I get to ski at Deer Valley with him… not only was I there when he finalized the offer on his new house… but I got to be a groupie while he played guitar with the house band during Apres Ski! Way cool and it was a great performance!

Had a great time, even though my flight sat on the runway for two/+ hours on my way down – which is why I’ve chosen to memorialize this occasion with my ticket stub.
We had a blast – great cuban food, met some of his friends, got really really sunburned (which i LOVED!) and then hopped on the plane home after a quick weekend catching-up and having fun.
Definitely needs to happen again.

I hit a melting point today with my POC phone and decided, “that’s it – I’m buying an iPhone.” I found out yesterday that it does sync with outlook, and I was pretty sure it’d either sync with my work server or I’d come up with an acceptable work around, and I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, sooo…
The biggest hurdle was reconciling my recent iPod Classic purchase. Buuuuut – I figured, with all of the long, long flights I take, I’ll be glad to have an mp3 player that has larger memory, but can use my iPhone at gym, and on the go daily. Good enough rationalization for me! WOO hoo!
Immediately, of course, I had buyer’s remorse. And it lasted all the way down the stairs of the Apple store. By then I was ecstatic about it.
The really cool part was setting up my entire account (joining at&t, grabbing my old phone number from verizon, figuring out what plan options I wanted, and configuring billing) all via iTunes in about 45 seconds. Wow.
So I did it! And this fulfills two of the things on my list — item #2 new phone, AND as you can see, a lovely new digital camera which totally meets my needs for the blog, item #1.

I crossed off my first item today! Brian helped me get to the post office and then took the picture.
I should admit that I did put a return address, but only because I didn’t know Rob’s apartment number, so I didn’t want it to get banished in the world of undirected post.
ALSO – I’m making it official in print; Kevin, Eric, Meri and Brian – get your lists up there! I know you’re already started, so now it’s official – my public wants to see your lists.

I posted my list – it took a lot less time than I expected. At first I was very uninspired and just doing it to get Richard off of my case. But then I really got into it – ended up crossing off the first 25 or so and replacing them with things that mattered. I can’t wait to do this. I’m looking forward to every single one of my 101 Things.
But first I have to get a digital camera. Item #1.
Day Zero is today 2/19/2008

I know I’m late to the party, but I’m here dammit. I’m in San Francisco right now and the upcoming transition will be great for 101 things to accomplish.
I’m going to take the rest of this week and finish my list…
Not being a very creative person, I need to read RR’s list and Whitney’s List and Mama R’s list and David’s list and see where they lead me. Plus i’ve got 10 hours on three different planes in the next few days, so I can take some time and make it worth it.
