Put your affairs in order

Have you created a will or a living will? I haven't and I've been thinking about creating one. Not for any particular reason, other than knowing that when the good Lord calls me home, folks will know what "to do".

I guess you can always leave things "unfinished" or full of loose-ends, but I've been thinking more about my daughter's future and realizing that she won't have to worry about certain things.
One, for example, is Social Security. There won't be any for her because the Baby-Boomers, Generation Xers, Generation Yers and Millennials will have cleaned out the cupboards with their Regina's.


As the talk gets louder and louder about the tax cuts, health care reform and the extension of unemployment benefits, I see the writing on the wall. (Or in my case, in the mirror.)
Yes, I'm an optimist, but DAMN! The economy is more jacked-up than former Celtics small-forward, Antoine Walker, used to put up jump shots.

And, with the recent news regarding Framingham-based TJX stating that they're shutting down the A.J. Wright business, laying off 4,400 people, the picture looks more and more bleak.(I guess folks should have known something MAJOR was happening when they told top-managers to turn in their cellphones on Thursday before heading home for the day.)

So, as I reach for the telephone to contact an attorney to "draw up the papers", I can only hope that you're ahead of the curve, and already have your affairs in order?

Bear with me, I'm trying to catch-up.
