If I won the lottery ...

Gadfly is fired. He tagged me with the following meme:

What would you do if you won the powerball lottery and were suddenly wealthy beyond your dreams of avarice? What would you do with all that money?

Well, I am so boring with this.

First off, I'd help my folks out any way they needed to. I'd probably help out my brother and his family right now.

I'd pay off all of our bills and probably keep writing for pittance, but I'd spend more time writing my book and less time trying to drum up business.

I'd do more volunteer work and work harder to promote newborn screening and research on Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (Pickle's birth defect).

We'd get a big piece of property out in the country and build a house.

I'd take the kids on vacation. I'd go on a cruise with all my girlfriends. Army of Dad and I would hit every major league ballpark in one season. I'd probably take AoD to Hedonism with me just for giggles.

I might get a personal trainer to help me work out and get on track. A housekeeper weekly would be nice, too.

If I had enough money, I'd set up all the financial arms to make us even more money and then before I croak, I'd improve the journalism department at Baylor and either endow a chairman or scholarship fund.

Sort of boring, I guess, but fun.
