It's a great problem to have, I know. But trying to figure out what to do with the $1.3 billion that I am going to win tomorrow night has been a real challenge. What's the problem, you ask? The problem is that $1.3 billion is A LOT of money, more money than I will ever need, more money than I can donate or spend in one lifetime. One billion dollars is enough money to guarantee that neither myself nor my children nor their children will ever have to work  -- EVER. That's the problem.

You see, it would be easy to allocate a measly $5, $10 or $25 Million dollars: Start a business. Invest in Fresh Crunch. Invest in real estate. Pay off all of our bills. Buy a bigger house inside the beltway. Basic shit, really. But $1.3 billion leaves me no reason to worry about ROI. All that’s left is my TRUTH. Do you feel me? So what the hell will I do with my hands when every feasible practical concern is eliminated from my life tomorrow night?

Flowers.

Lots and lots of flowers.

You’re all invited.
