Now, you may be thinking, "wait, that isn't 101 items..." and you'd be right. But, well, 101 things are way harder to come up with than expected, considering how many of them are stretch goals anyway. Plus, I've a tendency to be subjected to flights of fancy & whimsy, so I left them blank to be filled up as future me sees fit. A lot can change in 2.75 years, or so I've heard.
