Suppose you win $10 million in the lottery, but there’s a catch: you have to donate half of the money to charity. What charity would you choose? What would you do with the money you got to keep?
My charity would be the local humane society. I love animals, but I can’t make myself go to the humane society, because I know I would want to adopt all the animals that are there. I think it’s important to support animal charities; so many homeless animals are euthanized simply because local shelters don’t have the funds to keep them. I can’t think about it or I’ll get all upset.
That’s my cat Lyndie (above) who might have had to have gone to a shelter if I hadn’t adopted her. You can see that she’s very pleased.
I’m sure the money I kept would be gone in short order, as I would pack my bags and move to London. It’s my favorite city in the world, but it’s also a really expensive place to live. Pretty soon I would have a fake British accent (like Madonna) and I’d drink tea in the afternoons and ride lifts instead of elevators and jumpers instead of sweaters and when I call my family on the phone I’d say, “Cheers!” and when some little whippersnapper mugs me, I’ll be all: “Oi!”
sigh That’s a good story.
