Revisiting The List

Whenever I read through The List to see if there’s anything I’ve done and forgotten to cross off, or to refresh my memory of things yet to be done, it’s clear to me that in a lot of ways I’m in a much different place than I was when the 1,001 days started on January 5, 2006 (for example, instead of moving the rest of my stuff out of my parents’ house—#34—I moved all of my stuff into my parents’ house!). I had been thinking of doing an official revisitation of the list a year in, but January 5 has come and gone. So then I thought the next sort of milestone when it might be appropriate would be halfway, at 500 or so days. I used this handy calculator to find out what date is 500 days after January 5, 2006, and lo and behold, it’s May 20, the day I leave for Buenos Aires! I love when patterns start to form. And that seems as good a time as any to reevaluate. Something to do during the long flight (it’s 10 hours from Atlanta to Buenos Aires).
