I would read it faithfully as you are an entertaining writer, pally. <BR/>Glad to have inspired the list and its reworking. It does need maintenance to keep it fresh.Julie DeBrandt Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371405317589588583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455383937129728039.post-62215599283131437532008-12-03T07:13:00.000-06:002008-12-03T07:13:00.000-06:00Some say Checklists are over-rated, a too strict a...Some say Checklists are over-rated, a too strict and potentially unimaginative organizing mechanism that says "I read my Baedeckers" (with a pejorative sniff from E.M.Forster's "Room With A View"). <BR/><BR/>But I disagree. I live my life by my lists, and right now I relish re-reading my Quit List. I have friends and colleagues urging me to take time to truly enjoy my upcoming worklessness, and to try hard not to obsess about obtaining the next gig. Which will be hard for me...but I'll try. <BR/><BR/>Now, reading your checklist, I see how each item is less a "thing to do" than a springboard to an adventure--of a place or an environment or the mind. It's inspiring me to re-write my Quit List to ensure I have adventure built in, even if (or especially if) it's local.<BR/><BR/>And what an awesome sky over Kineton Road! Terrific shot. I imagine that, unlike a catastrophically clingy child, your little shopping trolley probably patiently waited while you took that photo.zgawdnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333662592641068254noreply@blogger.com
