Thursday thoughts on.... 100 things from 2018

Each year, my friend Shellie and I compose a list of 100 things. I think we've done this for 3 or 4 years. It's not life changing. Nothing super insightful about it. Just 100 things. I think that, as time goes on, I will find these lists nostalgic or comical. We'll see.
