Last night I took a critical step in the process of preparing for the art car parade: I wrote out my to do list. This step was followed by the equally critical step of reading the list, saying "four weeks!" and then screaming in incoherent panic. For your reading enjoyment, I am including the list here. Also because I've found that it's easier to keep up with the list if it's online. It will be continually updated as I work on parade preparations.

The list is still a bit short because a) I still haven't thought of probably half the things I need to do; b) some items are going to get a lot more detailed when I get to work on them. For instance "fix UMJ web site" covers a lot of ground.
