The List of Challenges

This is quite the List o’ Stuff I got going here!

I’m not entirely sure in what order I’ll get through them all, or how many I’ll get through this year. But if it’s on this list, I am serious about getting it done!

Underlined items are ones that I am currently in the middle of 🙂

(I’ve credited Challenges to the people that gave them with their initials to preserve anonymity.)
