That was the subject line of a new email I just got ;) For anyone unfamiliar with the "club", it was a silly little thing I put together in year #1 of the blog to get people excited - and motivated - about hitting a million dollars, and in order to be added to it you had to share your list of things you're planning to do to reach it. #156 on the list was Gene Roberts who
