Whether it's a first date or a date after years of togetherness, dates tend to be predictable. Dinner at a restaurant, a movie or maybe a picnic in the summer. Zzzzz . . . I'm getting bored just thinking about them. But somehow when it comes time to think of something cooler or more fun to do with the other half, I'm always stumped. But this afternoon stumbleupon.com led me to a list of 20 "Unusual" date ideas. I vow to try at least five of them. Here are my top three:

"2. Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books."

"12.In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella."

"17.With camera and pair of boots, make photolog of a day in the life of the invisible man."
