102 Days Until Halloween

Assuming the world exists (or at least my "world"), Halloween will be coming in 102 more days. Still way too far away.

i like Fall. i like Winter. Summer is an abomination that i cannot stand. There is no benefit to the miserable season known as summer. Once you get out of school, summer has no positives. It is too hot, too sunny. too bright (i hate natural sunlight), and too miserable.

Bring back good weather - cool, overcast and drizzly/rainy. 

Well, it's a $1 Billion jackpot... again.

It is that time again when the multi-state lottery jackpot goes up to $1 Billion again (last time around January 13th, 2023, a Mega Millions ticket on Friday the 13th). Mega Millions isn't that far behind at $720 million.

Since i'm told a time machine is not feasible (or possible) - i'll go with the standard: house and some fun stuff. i could go for an early large monetary b-day present.

i long for the simpler days when the jackpot would have been a couple hundred million dollars. i miss the days of the $1 ticket, twice a week. Lower payouts, but better odds - i'd take that trade.

If only i could go back in time and win $20+ million at 22. Life would have had so many more possibilities. Afterall, just "love" is never enough for a modern relationship. 

Even if i did win today, would i even have enough time to spend it (not the level of "fun" i could have had when i was younger)?
