...on creating these lists. At work, there's a lull in the calls, and I can hear Madonna's 1980's hit "Borderline" playing on a colleague's computer, a song that takes me back to a summer long ago when I was in Estonia, and listened to the Madonna cassettes I'd acquired from a garage sale, all summer long. Ah, nostalgia. How sweet, and sometimes painful, it is...
