I'm doing 42 things
I moved to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on February 23, 2008. This has given me a wonderful opportunity to achieve this goal. I will be spending the next few weeks packing and organizing. At the same time take the opportunity to pare down to what is Essential to me for living well and by my values.

Recent entries
I moved to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on February 23, 2008. This is a significant step towards achieving my goal.
project #38 is complete—make 5 useful playlists in iTunes. Now I have playlists for all my moods from pure metal to the entire Star Wars collection.
I ordered a copy of Ikiru from Amazon.com and that should be arriving to camp today. Now I can work on project #22—Write down my thoughts of my job then watch Ikiru.
I also ordered some artisan coffee from Oren’s Daily Roast and a Vac Pot from Bodum so I’m hoping to start projects #16 (Make the perfect alcoholic coffee recipe) and #31 (Create the perfect cup of coffee).
I also bought a book on making italian style sandwiches so maybe when I go home in 10 days I can work on project #42—create the perfect sandwich :)
