Reasons I want to be unapologetically listy

• to help promote Cate’s burgeoning wordsmith career

• an unabashed need to join a goal started by Bluto

• tired of hiding the evidence of my listfulness – lists in pockets, lists in books, lists in file folders, lists stuck to other lists. It is time to joyfully embrace my inner lister.

• a sudden, terror-filled awareness of the true purpose for Listerine.
