Hi Joel:
I never won the lottery...but am certian I deserve it! I am still hopeful though ... it will be my turn someday.
However, I was lucky enough to come to US as a teenager with wopping $28 in my pocket (used to be $30 but used ~$2 in Chicago airport to buy hot dog and some other food, I recall), received good education along the way almost for nothing, and have a career that enables me to send two kids to college at the same time, pay my taxes and wife's credit card bills, and still have some leftovers to feed my R2R obsession - mostly Studers and few others like the J-corder...
What a country!
Ki
