I always have "things to do" but I don't make any damn lists. I don't make lists because if I can't remember what I need to do then, 1) I am either way too busy for my own good or, 2) my mind has slipped far enough that it doesn't matter anyway.

* Satire: Catch-22, Dr Strangelove, Vonnegut, and movies like those of the Coens focused my humor and insight.
* My bicycle: As a kid it made my world a much bigger and more exciting place. It epitomized adventure and extrapolated into so many future endeavors
* Zion National Park: The first park I visited and my most memorable feeling of awe. It provided me the motivation to keep seeking new vistas.
* Brit: My dog who taught me the meaning of companionship.
* Family and friends (often one in the same): All the places I go and things I do wouldn't matter much without people to do it with.
Other worthwhile lists:

and if the lists I approve of are all hedonistic, well . . .
