How long did you take from undergrad graduation to your First Job after college? Sounds like you had a blast after graduation, just being FREE and EnJOYing LIFE!! And then.........a JOB.......
What all did you do during your Fun times in LA, Phoenix, etc.

A Lone Winner in Florida won the Powerball last night. It was $599.5 million.
Someone is HOG NASTY RICH, now!!!!
What do you do when you win a large Lottery? Obviously, take the Lump Sum! Go to the State Lottery office. But what do you do next?
You don't put that amount of money in one account.
Hire a good financial planner?
What would you do?
Of course, most of us would upgrade a vehicle or pay off vehicles and a mortgage and any debt, first.
And in other news Coach K is considering being the coach for the USA Olympic team 2016. Wonder what made him reconsider, after he said he wouldn't.

I am about 45 mintues from Zhills (Zephyrhills) I have a number of dog training friends who live there...and I have been inthe Publix that sold the winning ticket. Sadly, I am writing this from my desk at work...which should tell you that I wasn't the lucky weiner - and if it was one of my friends...well they ain't sharin'.

I may not have won powerball - but I did see Star Trek and Iron Man this weekend...enjoyed both of them
(no spoilers)
I thought Star Trek was freakin' awesome (as evidence by the cheering and applause from the theatre in the end)
I am sure it is an excellent straight up sci-fi for non Trekkers but if you are familair with the Canon of Star Trek, well that is just a bonus. I love the 'reboot' cast.
IronMan is fun...it is, well Iron Man. It is a comic book character. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Then again, I would watch Robert Downey Jr. read the freakin' phone book. I would not kick him out for eating crackers.
Oh...and a bought a new computer toy this weekend...becasue I should never be allowed to got to best buy and 'look'
It is a Sony - VAIO Tap 20 - so it is either a huge tablet or a very skinny laptop

I also saw Star Trek yesterday! Absolutely loved it, and as a borderline Trekkie (I've never wanted to go to a convention, but I love watching all the tv shows on BBC America) I knew all the inside stuff and was even predicting dialog! Kaaaahhhhhnnnnnn!
I'm down with your Duke FF offer! Me too. Same offer!

I'll do the same. I, like the capt., did not lose. I didn't buy a ticket. Small towns never win the jack pot. I saw where power ball is bigger because there are less winning numbers and the price has doubled.

I am in too on getting a CTN section at the Final Four if I ever win a meaningful lottery.
