300 Million Dollars at Barlow Farms

Jon and Joel and Berek have all made their 300-million-dollar plans. Here’s mine in chronological order.

1. Tithe.

2. Buy land for a church building and a school building for the church kids. (For an idea of what land costs are like here: 1 million dollars will buy a tiny little bit of land about a tenth or a twelfth of an acre in the suburbs of Tokyo. If you’re feeling rich….)

3. Buy a house for Mama and Papa.

4. Send them on the honeymoon they never had. They both want to go to Europe.

5. Cover Ben Zedek‘s seminary tuition and book expenses when he gets back to Japan.

6. Cover Berek‘s grad school tuition, living expenses, and book fund.

7. Travel to all those places I’ve read and dreamed about, starting with Navarre, St. Petersburg, Bavaria, Ireland, Tenochtitlan, Titicaca, the Great Wall….

8. Pay for my own grad school expenses.

9. Start school a school with no grades. Just classes of various levels. And Hebrew and chanting will be required daily subjects. More about the dream school later.

10. Start a publishing company with my cousin Christopher.
