What's Genny For?

If I had a million dollars...

I don't play the lottery but I often imagine what it might be like to win the jackpot. I have a list of things I'd do with such a payload:

Start a couple of businesses.

Create a scholarship fund for over-30 fathers that want to go back to school.

Buy each of my siblings a house.

Random acts of kindness. Big ones.

Host skill-contests for kids to earn money.

There's more but the list would be ridiculously long...

Yesterday I had a new idea: A get-together for folks here at WDC!!

If I had a million dollars, I could rent a hotel for a weekend. If I had a million dollars, I could buy plane tickets for WDC members and one guest to fly out. If I had a million dollars, I could pay for transportation to and from the hotel, catered food, and a bit of "mad money". If I had a million dollars, we could have our own live writing contests with physical prizes. We could chat and gab (or stare awkwardly at each other) and drink (or not) and eat (or not) and get to know each other face-to-face.

Alas, I don't have a million dollars and odds are, I never will.

But if I did, I would gladly blow a good chunk of it on y'all!


Tell me one GRAND idea you'd implement if you had a million dollars and earn 1000 GPs. If I get at least 5 ideas, I'll put y'all's name in a drawing and hand out a "Finance" Merit Badge to one lucky winner!
