Everyone around my office is talking about the Powerball jackpot and the chance to walk away with more than 300 million dollars after taxes. It’s really hard to imagine what you would do with all that money. I’ve asked a few people what they would really do if they won.
I keep getting the same answer.
Most people don’t know.
There would be the obligatory trips around the world, fancy cars, new home and maybe a giant party for all your friends, but after that what would you do?
Do you want to move away from all your friends and live on a tropical island? That might be fun for a few months or even years, but then what?
It’s almost too scary to think about. There are endless stories of people winning the lottery and then their lives going to hell because they can’t handle the change.
I’d like to attempt to handle that major change. It won't happen. I’ll be back here tomorrow wondering what IT could have been, even if I don’t know what I would want IT to be.

The Jack Johnson show last night was terrific. He'd been coming just to hang out with other musicians, maybe do a late night jam with friends in ALO. Very low-pro, as Jack said. That changed when Mumford had their medical emergency...
Still no mag. This is as close as my phone zoom can get. The dancers are sparkly. Bjork has a dress that looks like duct work from a dryer vent. The hat face thing looks like a cross between bubble wrap and pinhead from Hellraiser. Which could all be...
We waited at the main gate for over a half hour. A dozen safety full were poised to open the fences. Three on horseback provided back up. When they opened them up, it was a speed walk at first. Upon seeing that another, distant gate had...
