"  When Ann Nelson decided to learn to cook, she didn&amp;#039;t start with a simple meal: Her first culinary endeavor was Thanksgiving dinner. Although the turkey was done at midnight, it tasted delicious and everyone had a blast. In January 2001, the 30-year-old from Stanley, North Dakota, achieved another impressive feat: She relocated to Manhattan from Chicago. &amp;quot;One Monday, she called and said, &amp;#039;Leenie, I just accepted a job in New York.... I&amp;#039;ll be flying out tomorrow,&amp;#039; &amp;quot; remembers her friend Eileen Swartout. &amp;quot;I could hear the tingle of anticipation in her voice.... She was beginning a new adventure.&amp;quot;  Adventure was something Ann often sought out, from whizzing down mountains on Colorado ski trips to traveling solo in Peru. Once in New York, she rented an apartment in the hip SoHo area, where her boyfriend, Eric Lockovitch, and their 130-pound Newfoundland, Newman, visited her.  But on September 11, 2001, Ann&amp;#039;s jampacked life came to a halt \u2014 she was working as a bond broker on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center.  After her death, Ann&amp;#039;s mom, Jenette, opened a file on Ann&amp;#039;s laptop called Top 100, revealing an incomplete list of goals her daughter had hoped to accomplish. That list, printed here, may very well motivate you to start your own Top 100 \u2014 and live by it.
