Do!

This will be my Life List (aka Bucket List). Not a plan, not an agenda, not even a set of well-thought-out goals, just stuff I want to do or be someday. At first, the order will be random, as I think of them, not prioritized. (Might change that later.)

Works in progress will be in bold type, with a [start date]. Completed items will be struck through (if I can figure out how to do that in WordPress editor) with [start date/finish date].

Update 2011-12-15: Just upgraded to WP3.3 and upgraded to the latest version of my parent theme. Houston, we have STRIKETHROUGH!
