What do you think? Really – let me know if you like, dislike, are apathetic, or think I’m crazy. Though, fair warning – the ones you say are crazy, I’m more likely to do since I’ll be riding the wave of invincibility having completed the previous 7 goals.

The remaining goals I’ve set will be seen through, not cast out in favor of stuff from another list. But now that someone else can read my thoughts via blog and now that I’m formally asking you to critique these ponderings of what’s after the 7x7, there’s a little more accountability to it. Have a good week and see you soon.
