Ten Things....

So this isn't particularly related to teaching, though it might turn up as an assignment for my incoming freshmen (nothing more cheery than asking 18 year olds to think about their mortality), but I thought this article from the New York Times on lists of things to do before you die was interesting - particularly the comments so far.

I'm not sure I've got a list I could easily put together, though perhaps I'll try one later today, as I'm sure an afternoon of meeting with students and administrators will absolutely crystallize the sense of my own mortality as well as the knowledge that I could be doing much more interesting things with whatever minutes I've got left.
