Regarding Thing 17

(Update below)

Another participant wrote for this Thing "abandon hope all ye who enter here." After an excessive amount of time I am doing just that. And that includes trying to find "43 Things" to select an alternative to do. I found something called "43 Things", but it included activities such as "swim with sharks," which I don't find appealing. Nevertheless this was an enlightening adventure in frustration and the imperfections inherent in just about everything. So not a total waste of time....I guess.

Update: Things are Looking Up! I found the site "43 Things I might want to do this year" and it offers great alternative "Things," should one of the 23 be out of order. Actually I think some of the 43 are a bit more interesting. I took a look at Click University and Google Labs.
