What if I won the Louisiana Lottery?

Here’s my question to you in this week’s column. Do you feel lucky? Not the luck you would want if you were confronted by Dirty Harry. Remember Clint Eastwood’s words: “You’ve got to ask yourself one question:“˜Do I feel lucky? Well do you punk?’” No I mean positive “feel good luck”of decent things happening to you.

I’m more of a live and let live kind of guy. Just roll with the punches as events happened in my life, whether good or bad. And I’ve had both. Sure, I want worthy things to happen for me, my family, and my friends. But I generally don’t hope for some special event to happen that will dramatically change my life.

Actually, I am a pretty lucky guy. At 85. I’m in good health and am able to work out rigorously each day. I enjoy a large family with seven smart grandchildren and assorted other nieces, nephews and great grandkids that are a part of my daily life. And I get to rant and rave with you readers in my weekly column.
