My more serious diary:
A Walk Through the
Valley of the Shadow

Today we wish a fond Happy Birthday to Helmut Kohl, born in 1930. May he enjoy his retirement from his job as Chancellor of Germany.

Being Grandiose Executor of my father's estate is kinda fun, in a way. The lawyer just sends me stuff to sign and I sign it and send it on to whoever he instructs me to.

I can't just divvy the dough amongst the heirs immediately. I've gotta wait until the final bills are all in, and then pay them out of an estate account. Then I've gotta decide how to divvy the investments. Cash them in and hand out the green, or transfer ownership over?

And since my father lived a bit into 2008, we'll have his income tax return to do in early 2009, so final estate settlement can't be done until then.

Actually the rest of the heirs are pitching in with opinions, so as long as their opinions sound workable and don't lead to family feuds, I think we'll be okay.

And then the lawyer is charging about six or eight hundred bucks an hour, which sounds like a ripoff, but he doesn't see a whole lotta that personally, after paying his staff, location, and administrative expenses.

So after everything is paid, there won't be much loot left. We were never rich, and I'm not gonna be rich now.

And I'm still not making any detectable progress trying to relearn to play my father's clarinet.

But anyhow, today there's a bit of lawn to mow and some more garden plots to do.

Happy Thursday!
