Choose 1 from all those essential trappings of a life well lived that the you might be able to exist upon for a whole year.
We are too pampered, but with the right economy we can live large.
note: lovers can't be the one your with- sorry but it's better that way. Also, Lovers must be among the living.
note: the drink must be non-alcoholic- don't worry, you can still have all the booze you want during the year, I'm just interested in favorite beverages i. e., water, coffee, tea, juice and such like.
note: The cd means 1 disc therefore no Wagner's Ring Cycle.
note: The gig is to take place near your location and the performer must be among the living.
