See the full list of items here.

Friday is here! Time to choose at random, ten things to do. These items come from several other lists and books I have collected over the years. In a sense, this is re-organizing those lists to make a new one. Hence the “Friday Addition”. I add on to the main list. This will be my inspiration to also research and get at least a couple of them scheduled on the calendar.

I’m excited to give this new plan a try and see what new adventures I find myself doing.

Things to Do:

1. Know what syzygy is
2. Woga (yoga and wine)
3. Sing along with Andy Williams to “Moon River”
4. Learn to use a gun, but never have to (or shoot at clay pigeons)
5. 1001 Sac: 809
6. Adventure: 21
7. Brewery to Visit: Movement Brewing (Rancho Cordova)
8. Winery to Visit: Fields Family Wines
9. (1001+ List) Book to Read: The Awakening (p195)
10. (1001+ List) Movie to Watch: Gaslight (1944)

If there are any suggestions to add to the lists, I’d love to hear. Also, any tips you might have for ones that might require some research. If you have done, or want to do these too, I’d love to hear of your experience.
