Listing into port

Because it's so hot outside, I am attending to all of the indoor items on the following list. In fact, I think I'll spend a few minutes reorganizing the list to separate the indoor from the outdoor items, moving those indoor items that are dependent on outdoor items to the last. I do so enjoy fiddling with lists rather than actually doing stuff. As if there were any danger of my finishing everything...hah!

I'm in awe. If my list has more than 5 items on it, there's no chance of it getting done.

Jennifer - Not to worry. Some of these items have been on my to-do list for YEARS.

I am great at doing list and never get the stuff on the list done. Wish I was the other way around. But what can you do... LOL

Claude,
Me too. I published the list this time in hopes that fear of public shame will motivate me. We'll see...
