1. What would you do if you won a million dollars?
not quit my job, that’s for sure. Taxes is going to take about half. You go back to work the next day. Pay off your car loan. Pay off my car loan. Go back to work.
2. How about 5 million?
we are getting closer to the no workie number, but this isn’t it. Maybe quit my job and travel for a few months. Then, find a better job.
3. How about one hundred million?
Ok, you got me. I have now quit. I would take care of any finance stuff, and do so for the family. Then, I would buy property in Florida. Why? Because Florida has this really weird law where you can’t lose your house in a lawsuit. That is why OJ Simpson moved there. It was the only place the Goldman family couldn’t touch him with the millions lawsuit they won against him. So, no matter how things get in 20 years (do the research, winning the lottery is a curse on the people who have won)… I will have a home.
now, after some travel and a few unnecessary purchases like a convertible and a jeep and a new truck for Arne whether he wants it or not… i would like to set up a foundation that does good and work for it full time, like what Bill Gates and Bill Clinton do for a living.
oh, and I would get me one of those fancy touch screen phones. Oh, and flat screen high def tvs in every room… especially the shitter. Oh, and in my bathroom, I would have a urinal. Oh, and I would retrofit a new closet just for me with washer and dryer in it. No more schlepping up and down two flights of stairs.
You say, but Lono… you could pay people to do your laundry. I don’t want that. I just want the laundry machines to be in a practical location. Oh, you know what else I would do? I would buy even more weather stations. I would have one upstairs, and in my truck, and one at my desk at work too.
lastly, guitars. I am absolutely nuts about guitars. I am becoming a collector (have ten, currently) and will spend the rest of my life collecting them. I love to play them, clean them, string them, photograph them, and make sweet sweet love to them. I mean, look at these photos. this is art, folks. Look at Jerry Garcia’s last few guitars (Tiger, and Rosebud. Wolf doesn’t do anything for me), hand made for him. I would put these up against anything in the Louvre.
4. how about the babe lottery? Angelina Jolie or Jenn Aniston?
Jennifer Aniston, no question. Not even a hesitation. She is not just incredibly beautiful, but she isn’t a home wrecker. Jolie also seems crazy, when not breaking up marriages for her flings. That may have been sexy cool when I was 20, but now I don’t want that drama. I am happy to report that I am finally over my Madonna crush. It took a long time, I admit that.
I mean, it’s not like a have a list. that’s childish, and I am very happily married. However, if I did (and I so do not). It might look like this (in no order)
Courtney Love (I know she is a psycho douchebag, but she is hot)
Kathy Sabine (local weather personality. she was at the table next to me once at a red robin and she was more stunning in person. The wife was not amused.)

5. really?
