IIRC, CBS's "48 Hours" (or some similar news-magazine) detailed a group of
hard-scrabble folks in Texas that had run a pool and finally hit the jackpot in
the lottery.

Some of them prospered, some coped and others seemed to be ruined by their new riches.

As I've always told my folks, if I ever get desparate enough to play the lottery,
and win, they should not worry if they don't hear from me for a month or so.
They should just wait until I call them from my small country estate in Tuscany;
otherwise I'll be incommunicado.

No one would bother me if my numbers hit... all the folks I know already know I'm selfish and greedy to the nth degree; however, I do donate to the the R.C. church, Texas A&M Univ., the Republican party, and various charities - and will continue to do so.

p.s. Here's to looking forward to a possible Holiday Bowl bid and a little fun in the San Diego sun.
