I am a dedicated maker of
lists. I love them. Nine out of ten times, when I drive to town,
I will have with me a list of stops I need to make. I make lists of upcoming work projects,
details about classes I am currently developing, home projects I need to
complete, and materials I need to take to the cabin when I go there.
I have even posted a few
lists on this blog.
Lists are the nearest to
a living thing words on paper can be. They
grow and evolve over time. They are
never complete. When I see an open line
at the bottom of a list, I think to myself: “What’s the next thing?”
Yesterday, while visiting
with my sister and brother-in-law, I noticed a list on the countertop. I could not help myself. I had to sneak one more thing onto the
list. I have posted a stealthy
photograph I captured of the completed list with my smarter-than-me-phone.

Finally, a completed list.
