Pieces of 8

I am thinking about lists. I am a list maker. I like to write all kinds of lists all the time. I love crossing things off my to-do list, and my to-do list gives me a sense of control over my life even though it's just an illusion. Since I started blogging about my friends, I've been thinking about other lists of things I really like. Here's some of what I came up with... And 8 is just a random number I picked because I had the train of thought... lists-numbers-how many?-pieces of 8. If you like Captain Bogg & Salty like I do, you might have that song stuck in your head now.
