Merv Griffin

Merv Griffin,

appears he lived a fairly wealthy life. I'd love to get out to California someday and maybe recreate his success.

I checked out the following article on cnn.com :

I also watched Access Hollywood, (sigh) for more than 1 minute, for quite possibly the first and maybe the last time in my life. Mainly because they were showing bits of interviews they did with Merv over the years.

He seems to have lived a good life - he built a TV empire after starting out as a singer, then he moved into real estate. a Millionaire many times over...and he got to live in California for most of his life. I think one would be hard-pressed to improve upon that life...
