Cor-NEE-lius!

Ok, so I'm still laughing at this great California Lottery commercial. 

I don't play the lottery much these days. I used to buy an occasional quick pick when the jackpots grew beyond $100 million dollars. I can't even remember the last time I bought a scratcher. 

COR-NEE-LIUS! 

If anything, it makes me want to get a dog just to call it Cornelius. Which is weird, because I think I'd like a female dog. Hm. Oh well. 

I do daydream about some of the things I would do or how I would spend my money if I ever won a super huge jackpot. 

• Give away a bunch to my family
• Give away a bunch of it to my favorite charities and non-profits
• Quit my job
• Spa more
• Get haircuts more frequently
• Travel more
• Sleep more

Once upon a time...

I graduated from high school twenty years ago. Looking back at my senior year scrapbook, I found some funny notes my friends left on the autograph pages,  from the time I didn't have a telephone. These days, many kids, even the less privileged ones, have mobile phones. For a while there, I didn't have a house phone. And my friends knew it. They were an understanding bunch and my buddies with cars often showed up at my house to invite me out, the old-fashioned way, by knocking on the door. My mom didn't always let me out, but I was always glad my friends came by anyway.
