Stamps

Passport stamps appeal to the list maker in me. Each stamp is a lasting and visible record of an event. The stamps are crisp and clear as a check mark or crossed out entry. Even the chunk that the stamp makes as it hits the passport is satisfying.

As I've thought more about my habit of lists I've realized that there are so many small pleasures that appeal to the list maker in me. Here is a list of the listing activities that I find pleasing:

passports
menus
programs
bulletins
calendars
schedules
yellow pages
card catalogs
indexes
tables of contents
recipes

I'm sure there are others that help me feel the order of the world around me. What kind of records do you find appealing?
