My wife likes to make lists. She makes lists of things she needs, things she wants, things she likes, things she wants to like, etc. I don't really keep lists, but I like to check lists. Most of the time I check lists to see if I'm on them. In some cases, it's a good thing to be on a list:

• List of Celebrities on The Simpsons
• List of Billionaires
• Comic and Cartoon Characters Named After People

Unfortunately I was directed to a new list by my brother today on which I'm happy to report I'm not currently listed. This list is the list of people who currently owe fines of $5 or more to the Madison County Library in the town where I grew up. I am happy to report that I am not personally on the list, but it seems that my mom is on the list and currently owes $54.38. I'm pretty sure that fine is related to the fact that I lost the borrowed copy of Qui a pique mon fromage? in 1987.

Sorry, mom.
