Jon's Semi-Complete To Do List:

Other than loosely being organized by category, there's no magical organizational system here. Again, with a few exceptions, nothing on this list is anything I'd consider necessary to do before I die to feel accomplished. But, I might as well make the most of it while I can.

Highlighted/italicized items are completed. Some underlined stuff leads to photo galleries, blogs, or stories, which may be relevant.
