Recently, with the Ohio Lottery at astromonical proportions, we’ve been discussing what one would buy if one won. A conductor friend came up with a great plan of how to save orchestras and classical music by funding education etc. While I respect his noble effort, I have other plans if I won.
First I would take my niece Rachel to Disney World. Thought she is only 6 months old (and the world’s cutest baby), I don’t think you are ever too young to go to the happiest place on earth. After that there would probably be some traveling, maybe taking a tour of my favorite publishing house in Europe… just think of those Baerenreiter urtext, Universal Critical Editions – I’m getting excited thinking about it. We’d be traveling in style of course, each with our own bmw minicoopers in IxiOrange and WendyGreen, with matching Vespas. We’d tool around Italy… I can almost hear the gondoliers singing to us…
Oh, and I’d probably buy a lot of shoes too.

Umm…what about the house in Breckenridge? BK said if he won he would buy huge houses all over the place and let his friends stay in them. Don’t let BK out do you. I’m not even going to touch the publishing house tour….I think that speaks for itself. I do support the shoe plan.

First Tim, thanks for getting the reference, and the awesome car idea. I have a team set up at this very moment looking into if it’s a good idea. I’ll keep you posted.
Kboo – yeah, I know that the publishing house tour (PHT) is perhaps not for everyone, but I stand by my decision. I’d forgotten about the whole Breck house thing. I’d totally do that – I’m officially adding it to the list.
