100 things to do before I go, 1-100
One of the blogs I look at regularly is written by a very clever and funny San Franciscan woman named Maggie Mason.
She recently prompted her readers to write the list of things to do in one's life.
After doing it in a series of lists 25 things long.. I finally completed the arduaous task and found my list. This was somewhat harder than I thought it would be.
I also did the list of 100 things crossed off. That was easier. Why was that?
