I have noticed that there are a significant number of lists as blog entries here. And then I kind of wondered why that is.

Thinking about it, I think it's because all of us immediately group, categorize, and rate everything that we come across. I am idly wondering if this is cultural...I don't recall seeing evidence of such things in Tokyo, say...but then again, I'm not sure I would have recognized such things if I had seen them, either.

Maybe it's just me.

Maybe I'll put together a list of lists.

I just recalled that one of my all-time favorite books when I was growing up was a book called "The Book of Lists." It was just that: A book full of crazy and wonderful lists...like the world's most feared thing, or the 10 best ways to fall out of a moving car.

Maybe it's just my childhood infatuation with lists. Maybe I think that way.

No idea. Just popped into my head this morning.

Oh, and one more thing...the cool thing about blogs is that sometimes, people you never expect to read it end up reading it.

It makes me happy.
