Via a small-group e-mail chain...

I'm sitting in silence at work, because the whole office is out at some designer event and I'm covering for the receptionist... and so, I present you with this small token, a thing to be remembered by, a way to pass the time: a very, very long list.

Put an X by all the things you've EVER done *** just as a note: I got rid of some of the obvious stuff, like "seen a sunset". I mean, durr, just look at my flickr account's huge number of sky photos to see that I love the sky, or "been on a plane" - hello, I was a missionarly in Indonesia and Japan, right?... I did this for length's sake.
