• buy books for hospice facilities,
• go to whatever conferences I want,
• build William a lab in which he can be a mad scientist,
• have awesome giveaways on my blog of stuff I just love and want other people to have (I may or may not do the Oprah, “and you get an prize, and you get a prize” thing),
• pay for the medical treatment of a friend without insurance,
