I love this list! It gives me some ideas.

Suggestion, try to be constant with the legends of your lists. You put (p) for "play" here and (p) for "poetry" in the 2009 list.

Sorry, I'll do. Thank you for the commentary.

jaimeblack01/09/2009

Oh, but I must say thanks to you for your ideas. Your lists have inspired me to do mine, on the same style.
