I'm doing 40 things
It’s all beautiful up there, Napa is just pricier. Russian River Valley was highly recommended, but we also wanted to check out Alexander Valley (due to the fact that some labels from there have been really good finds). So many wineries, so little time!
If you have time, I would recommend taking a week or weekend to do everything. The scenery is magnetic.

How I did it
It made me
gratified 
How I did it: Took a few free lessons at first, then I picked what I liked & enrolled in a class series. Once you learn one type of dance, it helps you pick up other dances more easily. Read how I did it…
It made me
better off for it!
How I did it: Not eating much of anything but fruit, fish & veggies, with a little pasta or rice thrown in occasionally.Once you start, it's surprisingly simple and easy to do! Even going out to eat, which I thought would be a big challenge, has been simpler as each month passes. Read how I did it…

Bake or buy French bread (baguette or something substantial) and, if not sliced, cut into 1/2 inch or slightly smaller slices. If not day-old already, toast slightly while heating butter in a heavy saucepan (I used an iron skillet) over medium flame.
Next, in a bowl at least wide enough to place a whole piece of bread, crack 2 eggs and add 1/2 cup of almond milk and a scant teaspoon of Chinese 5 Spice powder. Mix well, then dip the bread completely into the egg-milk mixture, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl before laying in the skillet.
I cooked them longer on the first side, but just long enough to get a lovely golden brown color. Took only a few minutes.
Cover with ginger maple syrup (found at Willams-Sonoma)and dust with cinnamon or allspice if you like.
I have friends with lots of different piercings, but I’m not sure what I would want. I think eyebrow piercings look great, and like pierced nostrils on a lot of people, but because of work I can’t get anything too obvious.
