On Thursday, I will be catching a 5:30 am train to New York City to audition and perhaps interview for the syndicated daily edition of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with Meredith Vierra.

I am so excited about this because this is the one game show I have always wanted to be on. Its the perfect game for someone like me that has tons of facts about music and memorabilia stuck in my brain, but yet I still can’t remember what I had for breakfast this morning…. wait, did I have breakfast this morning? Oh, what does it matter, it’s almost dinner time.

So, when I first found out that I am going to audition, the first 2 questions I started stressing about is, who are my phone a friends going to be? and what am I going to do once I win the million. Now that is an interesting dilemma. I know lots of smart people, so how do you go about picking your 3 phone a friends? These are some of my ideas:

1. Get a couple of people in a room and have them put the phone on speaker with 1 person listed as the “friend” THE PROBLEM: People have to work and I can’t ask people to take the day off so I can possibly win a million
2. Go and find Ben Stein and beg and plead for him to be my phone a friend THE PROBLEM: I don’t know him and since he was an Ask The Expert, he probably couldn’t do it anyway

The other question is, what am I going to do with the money after a potentially huge payday. That is the easy part, but my Mom always said not to spend money you don’t have, so I’m not saying anything about that.

I was thinking, did you know that starting Cross Driven Radio was pretty similar in that I had an opportunity to do something I always wanted to do ( Radio ) and walked through the door of opportunity and 5 years later it is still going stronger than ever. I know that there is a pretty small chance that I may actually get on the show, and an even smaller chance that I will win the million, but I’m just thankful for the opportunity to try.

What would you want to do if the door of opportunity opened for you?

P.S. Be sure to follow my twitter feed on Thursday because I hope to be able to tweet often.
