No need to feel embarrassed, Scott, my earliest observations on my Lunar 100 hunt go back to 2006! :-[ It is so easy to let time slip by. One of the things you're going to notice when closing in on the last 25 is when an object comes up that you can get, and then get clouded out for a few days, you'll have to wait for the next Lunar cylce to have another chance at it.
I'm really glad I did the Lunar 100. I get a lot more enjoyment looking at the Moon now.
