- Did you win the $319 million Mega Millions Lottery last night? I won three bucks, not $319 million, but I’m not going to let it ruin my day. Not recently, but I have bought lottery tickets at the store in Albany, NY, that sold the one winner. It’s close enough to the Governor’s mansion that it’s possible Governor Cuomo bought tickets there. Maybe he won. He could use the money to help balance the New York State budget.
- I think we all know by now that DVD’s are copyrighted, so can’t we please start making some that either don’t have the annoying notice at the beginning, or allow you to skip it?

- Why does my cable TV box go into power saving mode at 1:30 in the morning unless I press one of the buttons on the remote between 1:15 and 1:30? Can I shut that feature off? I’m often up at 1:30 AM and it’s annoying.
- Is going to the gym good for you? The reason I ask is that most of the people who go to the gym near where I live, including me, are overweight.
