OK, so yeah, it's been almost a year since my last post. I am beginning to think that my work is seasonal, and the only month I am available to Blog is during December.

Nonetheless, I am doing something tonight that I have never done on my own. I will purchase 3 Powerball tickets. One each for myself, my son, and my wife. The numbers will be random, maybe to save time at the store, but more likely because I believe fully in luck, fate, and the science behind this not-so-random universe in which we live.

Sure, I have thrown in a buck here and there when the lottery exceeds a given amount (used to be $100MM, but that is too common now), but I have never had to make the actual purchase.

Probably the most daunting decision is where to buy... I think I will find some rundown looking place in the middle of nowhere that looks like it needs a touch of fate.

Anyway, I'm human, so I couldnt help but dream about what it would mean for me to win. I would probably take the $375MM one-time payout, since none of us is guaranteed tomorrow, and I want to enjoy the results while I can.

What are the first 5 things u would do with that kind of money? I mean besides the drop-in-the-pan things like paying off any debt and giving all immediate family members $1MM each. Spend a few minutes dreaming - it's that time of year, after all. What would you do...
