The good news about my 95 by 65 progress for the first quarter of 2015 is that I did not let the project fall by the wayside, I've made steady progress, and I am enjoying the process. I brought the following goals to completion:
#1 Create 95 by 65 list, completed 1/24/2015.
#2 Create the Leon Project, completed 1/12/2015.
#29 Research and purchase food processor, completed 1/30/2015. Some of the safety features are a little frustrating, but on the whole I really like it so far.
#48 Visit King Arthur Flour, completed 2/12/2015. Thanks, Heather!
#56 Join Twitter, completed 2/9/2015. Thanks, Stephan! I haven't yet done anything more with it besides make one tweet and read a few others. I wanted to have it set up in case of emergencies, but so far haven't found any reason to use it otherwise.
#86 Rocket boost genealogy work by end of January 2015 (40 hours of work in segments of 1 or more hours, over approximately 2 weeks), completed 2/1/2015. It was great to put in that much time, and I'd like to do it again (with some modifications), but what I really need to do is set up a system of regular, steady work in smaller chunks, which I haven't done yet. There is so much to do!
The bad news is that I completed only six items in the first quarter, which means I'm working at a rate of two goals per month, well below that needed to accomplish 95 in the 30 months I gave myself. What's more, most of these are relatively easy, short goals, unlike, for example, #91 Organize photos 2007-2011.
But I'm not discouraged. Although I only completed six goals, I've made good progress on several others. Indeed, I added three more accomplished goals to the total so far in April. I'm still behind, so I need to pay attention, and focus. But on the whole I'm happy with the system and my progress so far.
I love it that other people are so supportive in this. Heather took us to visit King Arthur Flour and a new museum (#69); Stephan sent me invitations to Twitter and Google+ (#55), and joined me in reading the Koran (#65); and Porter makes sure I get to new restaurants (#38), Universal Studios (#39), and live performances (#34); nudges me to watch Shakespeare (#67), Great Courses (#66), and NCIS (#40); encourages me to keep running (#18); and arranged for our recent trip to a new state (#44), where we visited four new museums. And more.
That said, it's still an overwhelming list, and I need to get crackin'!
Good job!
I appreciate the help from my family, too. We are trying a new restaurant today and Dave and I will be visiting Wadsworth Falls later this week.

You could use twitter to tweet links to your book reviews. Who knows, that might get you followers here or there.
Challenge accepted. I've now posted my second tweet.
Why, thank you! However, since I'm your only follower...
If I read the settings right, even though you're my only follower, anyone can see my tweets, at least if they think to search for #EasterMusic or #NewPraise or whatever other hashtag I used.
