Being invisible would be like having a backstage pass to wherever I want to go. No bouncer would stop me; no velvet cord would keep me away.
Pizza! It’d be a pizza with everything on it. I’d get all the food groups—meat, dairy, vegetables, fruit (there’d have to be pineapple) and bread (the crust).
I don’t have an iPod but my iTunes is filled with an eclectic collection of music. Some of my favorites are Aaron Copland, Ennio Morricone, Norah Jones, Lyle Lovett, John Mellencamp, Led Zeppelin, They Might Be Giants and Cold Play.
Swap jobs with Ric Steves as a European tour guide.
Anywhere in Europe I haven’t visited yet: Vienna, Barcelona, Monaco, Venice, Florence, Rome, Athens, Budapest, Berlin, Stockholm, etc., etc.
I’d put the money in a blind trust so no one would know I won. I don’t want people to think of me differently. I’d give several anonymous gifts, especially for education and entrepreneurs who’ll create jobs.
Though I enjoy fiction, nonfiction, especially biographies, fascinates me. I’m originally from Indy, so I religiously watch the Indy 500 race every year. I’m into trains, museums and new experiences.
