29. Outstanding!
What a wonderful, generous thing to do. My mother died of leukemia, so it's one of my 'pet' causes, too.

Thank you.

5. Donation to the flvegan rescue in Florida. Nah, not really.
Kucinich could use it, though. He's got quite the fight on his hands.

A weekend in Hawaii (I know at least one person in my household who would go with.)

10. Knock out your Christmas shopping to whatever extent possible.
I'm done every year by the end of August, and I can't tell you how good it feels in November and December when everyone else is running around in a panic.

18. Go on a trip! 747? That isn't a coincidence, thats an airplane.
That is a boeing airliner model. Why fight the obvious?

21. Some ideas...
1. Consider a donation to your Democratic candidate for US House. They need it.
2. Donate it to Walk for the Whisper - it's like Race for the Cure, only it focuses on ovarian cancer support.
3. Buy an AK-style rifle. (Still legal in Arizona!)
4. Visit the Hualapai council hall off of Route 66 and go nuts in the gift shop. They'll appreciate it dearly.
5. Help people in impoverished countries get their businesses off the ground. http://www.kiva.org
