Life List

Not entirely sure where this is going yet. It isn't a list of 100 things to do before I die, that just seems depression. I think it will be a list of things that I think I'd like to do someday, or things that I wish fit into my life right now, or things that I'm working on accomplishing. More a set of goals to help me make sure I'm not overlooking something obvious.
