Impossible List
a bucket list, except better
First formulated by Joel Runyon, and made aware to me by Thomas Frank, an Impossible List is an ever-evolving list of experiences that build up over time, help others as well as yourself, and implore you to take action. This is mine, which is, of course, ever evolving.
