Hi Harmonie. Where in New England would you like to relocate to? I noticed your desire in the Dreams thread too.

I've never been to New England so I don't know much about it.

I'm thinking between New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Vermont sounds like a lovely place, as well, but they don't have any universities with my degree to my knowledge.

There are two things that I'd love to do if I'm filthy rich.
1. buy all sport TV rights and then don't show any of it on TV.
2. buy the German and French TV rights for foreign productions and then show the French dubbed versions in Germany and the German dubbed versions in France ;).

Do you have a pilot's license?

My dream is very predictable. I would finally start my collection of T'ang dynasty horses.

Defo buy a fully kitted out wood work shop.

If I were well. I'd build a spaceship for a LAN game. My family and I used to get together on weekends and play. It consisted of six computers, the server also ran the main screen. The other five were for the helm, weapons, science, communications, and engineering. I played the captain and did not get a computer. Rather I had to rely on my officers for information. It got chaotic. It was a lot of fun.

I had rigged lights for shields, red alert, the front screen showing the direction we were going, and a couple of other things. I was decoding packets of information to determine what other effects I could use.

We had built our first station (the science station) and I wrote three alien conlangs which I sold a license for to other players. Then I got sick and the whole thing halted. I miss it but realize that I can't play anymore.

But if I won the lottery and were still well, I'd go all out and make us a nice ship to play in,
