Happiness, I have discovered, is nearly always a rebound from hard work. - David Grayson


Goals Completed: 14
Goals in Progress: 26

I completed my yearly fast (#15), literally while traveling to my vacation with the Green Tortoise (#91). I met my brother and we went to the Chabot Space & Science Center (#32) for my last museum to complete that goal. I also finally got to ride on a San Francisco Cable Car, a supplemental goal. The Green Tortoise was in itself the completion of a goal of three week-long camping trips (#91) that included another supplemental goal, enjoying the beauty of Old Faithful Geyser.  Since I’ve completed three goals in the Travel/Adventure section, my new goal is to hike the Grand Canyon (#102).

After finishing my hiking trip, I had time for two days in Las Vegas, where I saw two Vegas performances (Zombie Burlesque and Pinup!), and that completed the goal of ten performances (#36). While on the trip, I finished reading Go Rin No Sho (#17), started Bushido, and the haiku for August (#19). Sleep (#16), while traveling, was spotty, but I ate well and usually mindfully (#14).

My vacation, from a 101/1001 perspective: I completed three goals, as well as completing two supplemental goals, and made progress with three other goals. Not bad. I hiked in Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Zion National Park, as well as white-water rafted eight miles of the Snake River at Jackson Hole, WY and visited Sal Lake City, Utah. I visited the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center, a rehabilitation place for wolves and bears and raptors who cannot be released back into the wild, and where they test ‘bear-proof’ containers by actually giving them to the bears. I hiked the Ruby Mountains, Jenny Lake, most of the main geysers, mud pots, and steam vents, Biscuit Basin, Red Canyon, and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. There were big bison burgers, cold nights camping, and soaking in Mystic Hot Springs.

Next, I run the Warrior Dash on Saturday (#05) and we go see the Foo Fighters (#99) on Monday, which will complete another goal of seeing ten concerts.
