All right, everyone quit nagging me! I've finally caught up with myself, and I've finally put up my page of photographs so that you can gawk at things and people of my life. Go have a good time.
The Tribune says that an old couple out in Streamwood (that's not all that far from where I work) won that gigantic lottery earlier this week, something like $100 million. They're retired, and I guess pretty sensibly chose to take a one-time payment of the hundred million rather than getting a few million a year for 25 years. I'd probably do the same thing even now.
As I've said, I don't need to worry much about money, but these people really don't.
I think if I had that kind of money, I'd set up a scholarship for music students to go to college. And I'd give a lot of money to animal shelters and places that protect women against violence. I already do give money to these sorts of things (though I adamantly do not give to the Minnesota Alumni Association -- that place got enough of my money not all that long ago!) but there are things you can do with a million dollars in one lump that you can't do with a thousand dollars a year for eternity.
Fargo misses your comments when you don't leave them.
