I think a large difference in our perspectives may actually have more to do with where we are in the rest of our lives. Sometimes, focusing on just one goal at a time is about all that I can squeeze into the shedule these days. :) Good luck with that 50 state goal by the way. I think that's damn impressive, and they should have special 50 state medals for folks who do that. Some good points here, Blaine.

Some of those may be achievable within a few hours, whilst others would require years of dedication. This isn't intentional, but it does mean that I can always reach a few of them with comparitively little effort whilst keeping a few big ones on the horizon.
