susandennisI can never decide if I like the one-entry per thought scheme or the one-big entry scheme of LJ-ing. This will be your compiled version.
Another death thought - après death thought: All of my legal things (will, POA, etc.) turns everything over to my sister to do with as she thinks best. I've told her in words and in writing that it's up to her to share with my brother what she thinks she should, etc. I also do not care one tiny little bit what she does with my remains. Give 'em away, sell 'em, burn 'em... whatever. If she wants a funeral or a memorial service, fine. If not fine. I wrote in a note attached to the will that I give her full license to do what she wants and to tell anyone and everyone that whatever it turns out to be, it was what I wanted. That way if she decides she doesn't want to mess with a service she can just say that I left instructions for no service. I trust her not to have an NRA member only party on the beach to celebrate. She has a lot more scruples about something like this than I do.
One of the things that most stressed me about my manager leaving for three months was Christmas. I knew it would fall to me to pick outChristmas holiday presents and cards for employees and customers and get them approved. Monday I got the presents approved by the CFO and today I got the cards approved by the CEO. I am totally home free from here. Whew. Monkey off my back.
The third game of the World Series is tonight and if it's half as good as the second game it's going to be a fun evening.
I am not at all comfortable with patriotism that equals 'my country right or wrong.' When I see an excess of flag waving, I get nervous. I am not all that comfortable with a federal budget that is weighted so heavily towards teaching teenagers to kill people. I'm not that wedded to life - I think freedom of choice does not go nearly far enough in this country. I'd like to have the choice to end my life if I want to - legally. I definitely believe strongly in the right to chose abortion. But gathering up young people and teaching them how to kill people with my tax money is just not something I'm wild about. I guess I should be grateful we don't have a draft and probably never will again.
I had one more random thought and now I've lost it. And if I had a nickel for every time that happened in a day!!
