Last Year's Journey: The List of 2012

I didn't want to post the 2012 List while I was still working on it. I felt vulnerable, and wasn't sure how it would all go. As it turns out, I revised it several times in the early months. Later I want to explore what was going on with the revising, but not now. For now, I think it's just the right time to unveil the list in its final form. It's still fresh on my mind, and the 2013 list is just a little zygote. So, without further delay.... (purple items are complete)
