Honestly, the most I really want right now is about twenty acres in the mountains. I wouldn't give away the powerball jackpot if I won it, but the cash five is about all I really would have greed for at this point in my life.

Had Wolverine #1, The Punisher #1, Punisher War Journal#1, and the first Daredevil and Punisher crossover.

I’d say I miss them, but it turns out Hollywood is strip mining my childhood for anything they can monetize - so I’ve still got Wolverine and Punisher stuff being constantly slung at me thirty years later.
Hah I had Wolverine #2, and the other 3 of those.

Lost them decades ago, sadly.

Agreed, but I want fertile land. Mountains are nice to look at, but tough to grow food on.

If somebody had $100 million, I’d advise them how to spend it, not “invest” it, UNLESS they were building something, creating something big that required vast amounts of money, like a space rocket company.

Depends. Lots of homesteads up there that I have seen. Here in the Appalachians, you can grow pretty well down in the valleys.

What would be your spending recommendations? What is your favorite possession or experience you've had? Travel?

In the new world order none of us will be allowed on the surface. We will be depth grovellers, living beneath in caverns, mining precious metals for the ultra rich, and using their garbage for food and shelter. Depth grovellers are not allowed up to the sunlight under any circumstances, and over time become blind, hairless, and albino. They have keen senses of smell, and are capable of eating cavebeetles and the occasional lame bat that falls to the floor of the cave. They are the untouchable caste for the 21st and 22nd centuries.

Yes, travel.

And home’s better when you travel.

It’s different for everybody. My favorite was Cameroon because of our adventures there, Gwynne & mine, but Cameroon is shit otherwise. In Asia it was Cambodia because of Angkor Wat: I had a tingling dopamine feeling when I was in the buildings. For comfort, Grenada: loved the weather & scenery but never going back.
