My lovely significant other caved and donated $2 to the crowd tax of lottery tickets.
So, here we are, awaiting the number extraction tonight. And what would I do with the biggest lottery payout in US history?
1 - upgrade our health insurance plan to silver
2 - set aside a couple of hundred to take my husband on a shopping spree (I can do it, I'm the master of bargain shopping).
3 - invest the rest in a retirement savings fund.
4 - continue life as before.
Ok one caveat: time permitting all around, I would jump on a plane for a 1 week visit to the Taiwan family branch.

Cultural weekend, family legacies
Inherited talent, father & son, senior and junior, Strauss' and Creeds.
As in Johann and Apollo/Adonis.
Saturday, via the High Museum, an organ concert at the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta with organ master Jens Korndoerfer. I had never been to an organ concert, to the best of my memory.
Giuseppe now has a great desire to be an organ master's assistants to get to pull buttons all day.
The concert was rather wonderful and ended with well-received crowd pleasers by the Strauss father and son team. In any case note: the Radetzky March is constant joy.
And Sunday we got to celebrate another famed and loved father-son duo: the Creeds. Thank you Ryan Coogler for continuing a legacy that will never get old and will entertain me forever. Brilliant work of course Sly and Michael B. Jordan.

Helpful People
And adventures in road tripping.
Half way between Atlanta and Charleston we discover a broken headlight (yes the sun had set) and a flat tire.
Many thanks to the owners and workers of the I20 Marathon petrol station in Batesburg and the kindly driver who happened to be present for helping us pump our tire, diagnose a problem, call their mechanic friend, host as as we waited for all our car problems to be fixed, and to the mechanic for his work and fair price.
People are good.
