‘Hancock’, ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2’, executor setup

(This post covers 1-5 December, 2008)
-------------------------------------------------------
Friday, 5 December –
I spent much of the day working on estate tasks and researching various topics to help me understand the legal, financial, and insurance terms and concepts.
Today was a colder day but a pair of the lightest-weight longies kept me comfortable.
That evening we watched three episodes of ‘John Adams’.
-------------------------------------------------------
Thursday, 4 December-
Today I loaded up the Executor’s Guide ebook and began reading. I didn’t get far, though. As I’d read, I’d be reminded of something I want to ask or research further and that turned into lists and more lists. I’ve also accumulated quite a stack of paperwork already and had to get that organized and filed so I can find it.
I did my four-miler in a light rain today. On the way back I was passed by a twenty-something woman running with her two dogs. She appeared to have helium in her running shoes. I’ll have to look for those shoes at the running shop.
That evening we watched the first two parts of ‘John Adams’ with Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney. Good stuff!

Wednesday, 3 December –
I cleaned up the office and shopped online this morning. I bought a small Christmas present for Labashi (we always say we aren’t going to exchange presents but do something small) and researched books for estate executors.
I rode the motorcycle in to the bank to give it some exercise and cash in my loose-change piggy banks ($120!) and used the money to buy Quicken WillMaker Plus. The book I was looking for (‘Executor’s Guide’) was bundled free with this book/software combination. Hopefully these books will not only help me understand wills and we can use the software to write our own wills.
I walked four miles at Rudy Park. Today was my first walk on the York County Heritage Rail Trail section constructed earlier this year. The trail currently dead-ends only a mile and a half from the park but next year another section is to be built down to Route 30, and then a third section into York. Once that so-called ‘Northern Extension’ is complete, it provides a connection to the 20 miles of trail of the York County rail-trail which continues another 20 miles as the Maryland North-Central Rail-Trail to Gunpowder Falls State Park. Cool!
That evening we watched “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2”. I see it gets a 63 on the tomatometer and I’d say that’s about right—toward the lower end of the spectrum of what’s worth watching. It was okay.

Tuesday, 2 December –
I didn’t sleep well at all last night and thought I’d sleep in but that didn’t happen so I dragged a bit through my day. Yesterday I had noticed two small problems with the cold-air induction system on the Miata (a split air duct and missing screws in the air box) so took care of those. I also drove up to the garage and talked to the owner about the transmission. He’ll check into the 90-day warranty on the used transmission and we’ll see where we go from there.
I had a doctor’s appointment mid-day for a periodic physical and blood testing for my statin prescription. He also gave me a prescription for my month-long battle with the sniffles so I spent an hour or so running that down.
Back home I thought I’d take a quick catch-up nap. Two hours later I came out of a deep, groggy sleep. I took a day off from walking today.

Monday, 1 December –
This morning I worked on email, web, and some executor stuff then took my walk mid-day. I hoped to beat the rain but it caught up to me in the last mile and soaked my legs and feet again. By the time I changed clothes, the sun was out and the clouds all gone. If I had just walked at my normal time I’d have missed the soaking.
That evening we watched ‘Hancock’ with Will Smith. Not bad as superhero movies go. Recommended.
