Nelon:
Can't exactly remember where, but I recall you saying that you'd love for such a scenario to be turned into a story. It's nice to see you made your own wish come true.
I mentioned in a small talk post on another subject - and that is all I remember. If I had billions, and could throw ten millions around as if it was nothing, I would do things like that, because why not?

I was mesmerized by this timely story while doing my housework as I read the first part.
It's about a year or two so from being timely, but I liked the idea. I'm glad you took the time to say that you enjoyed it.
Note:
A couple of people have asked about the Captain Squid bit, so I'll explain it here. It refers to "Kraken The Box”, a make-a-wish kid (11-years-old) who wanted to be a pirate and Johnny Depp went far further than asked, even lending out a PR person or two to give advice. Search for "Johnny Depp Returns as Jack Sparrow for Make-A-Wish" to start the journey of discovery of the life of this remarkable boy, but be aware before you start that the boy's journey has already reached its natural end.
And yes, some of Amber Heard's fans attempted to attack the boy when the video came out, but that attack faded quickly because, well it was a make-a-wish bit that brought true joy to a child (I've seen the zoom call and saw the joy on the boy's face). You can't attack someone for performing an act like that. As that trial showed, Johnny Depp has serious drug, alcohol, and emotional problems, but him doing that proves that he's got a good heart.
