I heard a story on the radio this morning about a "local" woman who won the 6th largest jackpot in the PA lottery's history. $36 million.
Even before I got this on the radio, I was thinking about winning the lottery. IE.- What I would do with the money. I think I might have mentioned some things I would like to do, but I just wanted to put them all down to share with the rest of you.

As I might have mentioned before, I have a program running on the server that keeps track of hits on the web site.
It's not just a simple counter, as you might expect. It actually tells me what page you were on before you reached this one (if any), including what search terms brought you here from a search engine. You would be surprised the crazy things that people search for.
I've been sick for the past week or so. I stayed home from work on Wednesday and Thursday to try to get a fast recouperation, but that didn't pan out. The doctor gave me some pills on Wednesday that amount to a triple-dose of Tylenol Cold, and I fear he didn't quite grasp the extent of my illness.
In any case, I spent most of the weekend in a bleary haze. Stuffed nose, back pain from coughing so much, strange stomach pains, you name it. Laying down hurt, standing up made me tired.
