My ‘retirement plan’ is in place, my Powerball ticket clutched tightly

All right. Here it is, Wednesday morning and once again I have my Powerball ticket tucked safely away, just waiting to discover that I'm a multi-millionaire when they draw my number later tonight.

Yes sir, I have my Rolex Submariner all picked out (I like the looks of that 2-tone silver model with diamond and sapphire markers) and I have a good travel agency on speed-dial to quickly set up those two one-way tickets to paradise (no, of course I won't tell you which paradise) for the wife and me.

Alas, I've been here before. Tonight's drawing is for around $90 million. I suspect, should we win that much, we could live comfortably on the cash option the rest of our lives despite the current Bush-supervised "economic downturn." Unfortunately, I doubt the numbers will fall my way. But wouldn't it be fun if they do??

Yesterday's "Today Show" had a short piece attempting to debunk 10 "myths" about Baby Boomers (I am one; my wife was born 2 years too soon). One myth that amazed me was the idea that all Baby Boomers are wealthy and eager to retire early. Wow. Not me. Not wealthy, and not likely to retire early.

But if that Powerball thing comes through ... Hmmm ...
