Okay, the bicycle-related items have been restored from off-list to new items; the weather's getting better, time to make that happen! I bumped several work-related items from new to old, because really I've been sitting on those for months too. And as I was saying both last month when I made the March list and just yesterday when I was reviewing the month, I need to buckle down and start writing things down on a daily basis to make myself get them done. Too much getting up late, sitting down to go through the weblogs and forums and whatnot, and then ultimately not getting anything done.
