My gosh, Kevin. I can't believe you did all these. They are so exhaustive!

I say that because I'm reading the list in one sitting, but I imagine you didn't write these all in one sitting. Maybe you did. Anyways, it's interesting--did you find any repeats from the last time you did this exercise? Maybe your unconscious is telling you what stories it wants to tell.
