Wolfgang, you are right about the wisdom of keeping a low profile. I guess we should make sure the cats' bungalow is not conspicuous.

Many of us are indicating that we would not change much in our lives, and I think that's a good thing. Shows that we are at peace with the world.

Along these lines, I remember a lovely lady, a co-worker of my husband. One day we were discussing what we would do if we won the lottery, and she said, "I would buy my dad a new truck!" There's a sweetheart for you.

I agree with everyone who points out the good that could be done in Africa. I wouldn't forget Africa.

Another thing I would do is build my dream house. I have been thinking for years about my dream house. For one thing, it would have a motorized storage unit such as hospitals use for medicines. You push a button, open the doors, and there's a shelf. In my house, you would push the button, and the jewelry-making supplies would come up. Push it again, and there are the CD's. Push it again, and there's the Windex, etc etc.

The living room would face south, and the winter sun would shine on the tile floor, warming it. For summer, real shutters would be shut so that it wouldn't get too hot. In front of the house there would be shrubs that feed the wild birds, so I could birdwatch when it's not too hot.

And of course there would be a room where my musical instruments would be right to hand, ready to play at the drop of a hat.
