On The Loveliness of Lists

Oh, you know I love to make lists.  Detailed lists.  Lists of the mundane and lists of the ridiculous and lists of dreams.

And the best thing about having a list is the satisfaction that one gets from marking out the things on that list that you've accomplished or finished or overcome.  The ingredients for the salad.  The dry cleaning picked up and dropped off.  The grocery store and the post office and Target and the Pharmacy.  The last 8 classes before you get your degree.  The things you need to buy for your new house.  The places you want to go.  The things you need to see. 

I have blank books for lists.   I love them.  I think everyone should have one....
