4/29: Did I miscount again? Today is the 100th day? Ah... I started counting with the first real day of work, on Wednesday, January 21st. Silly me...
4/28: Looks like I miscounted somewhere. The 100th day will be Thursday the 30th, with the final word being posted the next day.
4/25: Another two-fer as we come down to the wire...
4/9: Another missed day yesterday, so another two-fer...
3/25: Missed a day yesterday, so a two-fer today...
3/11: Yesterday was the 50th day of the Obama administration, so we're halfway through the honeymoon.
2/21: Ooops. I repeated a word: I just noticed that I used "stimulus" twice, and here I've been trying to avoid repeating words. I beg forgiveness and claim ongoing illness on that day.
In my surfing this morning I came across the phrase "100 words for 100 days," and I thought, Cool. A single word each day to describe that day's progress in the Obama adminstration? Cool.
Turns out the phrase was not being used in that way, and it was being used for some PR thing that I have absolutely no interest in. But I like it anyway, so I'm stealing it.
Yesterday was Day One, and now, with the day's events behind us, we can sum it up in one word -- or we can try, at least. So I start today, with yesterday's word. Day 100 will be May 1, so I'll post the 100th word on May 2.
(Gonna be fun keeping up with this while I'm in London for 10 days in February, but I thrive on impossible tasks...)
