The List

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson called it a Bucket List.  Joel Runyon calls his the Impossible List and specifies that it’s not a bucket list.  Steve Kamb has an Epic Quest, complete with levels.  Whatever it is, I’m calling mine The List.  I’m especially inspired by Joel’s list: it’s always evolving.  Instead of a list of things to do before I die, I’ve made a list of things to do asap (so I can add more things to the list!)
