How I did it
How to get a new job
It took me
4 months
It made me
Weeeee!

How I did it: Not just with work, but this was a big part of it...So, people think that if you work for the State you have it made. So. not. so. I had to decide that my happiness was more important that a semi-secure pension plan. I mean, really, nothing is for sure, so why trade my whole life for a chance at having a retirement sum?

How to run 2 miles
It took me
2 months

How I did it: I slowly worked up to it. I've been much busier since and can't get out to jog every day. I've gone back to jogging a mile at one time, but eventually I will get back up to two...and maybe even more. :) Read how I did it…

visit & find something to do in every town in connecticut
Other people are doing this? 7 months ago

Wow, I am surprised and delighted. If not still doing it, at least that other people tried.

There are 169 towns in CT and I have now visited 102. I have been blogging about it for 4 years, but I neglected my blog for quite some time.

I am trying to update it now, but it’s more work than I expected.

One thing I’ve gained from this project is a new perspective on this little state as well as a lot of random Connecticut knowledge.

I’ve done this a few times. First in North Carolina, then Tennessee, Canada, and Portugal. Can’t say any of them were memorable.
