The Checklist

I’ve never been one for lists. Actually I hate lists! Lists represent deficiencies and needs which I may or may not be able to achieve. I know it sounds stupid but I’ve always been a come as you are roll with it kind of person. If you don’t have it you’ll have to suck it up and make due. As I get older and possibly wiser and definitely more experienced the lists that were once emblazoned in my mind become harder to retrieve from its recesses. Ergo the need for a written copy becomes mandatory. Here we go:
