The winding-down of summer and the beginning of the fall semester has brought the angst and pain of procrastination along with a blizzard of paperwork. I find myself making lists so that I can see what is yet to be done, what is done, and what is not going to be done. In that spirit, and in recognition of the fact that I am quite proficient at misplacing, burying, ignoring, filing away, and forgetting to look at these well-intentioned lists; I have decided to start a new one here. Essentially a bucket-list that, because it is here and public, will be harder to lose or ignore and can only be consciously deleted. (btw and not surprisingly, making a bucket-list is not on any of my lists of things that I should be doing.)
