Preamble: You know the times your SO just flat out knocks your socks off? This morning B has been jumping when the prox sensors go off for the front door. I reassured her the first time it had to be the squirrels. When she jumped the second time she hollered, "UPS truck". Sure enough, there is a box on the shelf, on the porch. When she opens it there are the fixin's for 4 Lobster Rolls, butter included. B declares, "It's what's for dinner." And punctuates it, "Tonight!" So there is that... Lists of Lists I keep them. I know that others do as well. I forget where I keep them. Knowing that I kept them and then not being able to find them becomes a nagging itch. Everywhere I look I am always on the lookout. Until I stumble across The List while long on the search for something now completely pointless. The universe is in motion, gods are smiling, while I wither beneath the simplicity and elegance of The List. Now that I have it what am I going to do with it? The.light.went.on! The List, which I thought lost and searched for constantly, is made up of my goals. As Titles The List suggests some final state; oh, he's a Futurist. When in fact, The List, as a set of goals or objectives, is an over-lapping set of evolving and growing skill sets. Each becomes a discipline to study and practice. Gods are now laughing.
