It’s The Last Train To Memes

Estate Planning by David Bock

Estate Planning by David Bock

Two thousand and twenty was a horrible year for many people for a variety of reasons. In addition to the most common, I lost both my parents that year. My father, who lived in Florida, died in April and my mother, who lived in New York City, died in September.

This post is not in any way an attempt to garner pity but to help others learn from my experiences.

When my father passed, it was not a complete shock as he’d been fighting cancer for a number of y...

And did you know there was a s...

Failing To Post, The Sequel

Gifted

This is the time of year to give/receive gifts.

Now, I’ve written before about the lousy economic sense of gift-giving. There is always a ton of money that gets wasted. We have some friends that have the strangest gift giving ability. Like… No. there is no way to explain. If its both perfect and needed, they give it to me the day after I order it for myself.

Yes, there are also friends who marvelously discover my wish list and are smart enough to navigate what I’m saving for the kids, ...

DEI DIE, die, die, die!

When I was young I used to resent “skinny, well-put-together blondes” at first sight. Particularly if they were named Ashley. No. I don’t know why, but we lived in North Carolina at the time, and I swear they were cranking these girls out in a factory somewhere, and they were all named Ashley.

Why did I resent them? Stupid reasons. Mostly, they had this air of having been brought up to wealth and privilege, the kind that always told them what fork to use and what clothes to wear in all si...
