MH: You should do one.

GH: It didn't take me too long and you can never have enough time.

We've already hung some hiking pictures in our living room.

GH: I'm thinking about it.

I liked it too. You'd probably enjoy Paul Theroux's travel books - he's a great grump

I'm starting to think you have waaaaay too much time on your hands, my friend. ;)

You could start putting hiking photos on the fridge...

Get the will. I'll say it again: GET THE WILL.

Here's why. Even if you just want everything to go to the wife, you need to make that clear. Don't leave it to the court to decide between her and every relative that suddenly shows up to make a claim. Spare her that stress. Once it's in writing, there are no arguments. In the other case, simply distribute it to close family or friends that you care about; leave them instructions on how you would like the money distributed or simply let them put it towards their kids college funds. Or, yes, bequeathing your estate to a charitable organization is a perfectly fine option.

The basic idea is that if you don't have it in writing, anyone can put up a fight for it in court. Get the paperwork. Trust me, I've seen what happens when the paperwork isn't there...

Neat! Now you need to make one that forms that magnets into a walking person or something.

2009-11-03T15:46:15.567-06:00

GH: Well, the TSA limits liquids in carry-ons to 3.4 oz. Since the human body contains some 5 quarts of blood, not to mention all the other fluids in the body, that would mean you would not be allowed on the plane and they would toss you in the bin with all the other illegal water bottles. Sorry.

GH: :-) Yes I have.

2009-11-03T15:41:57.059-06:00

GH: :-) Yes I have.

Sweet! Can you pack me in your carry-on?

Sometimes it's difficult to live completely without regret. I'd attempt to offer advice but, well, you've read my blog...

And a belated one to you as well!

2009-11-02T14:22:16.915-06:00

2009-10-30T08:45:35.381-05:00

BM: I use wireless headphones. That way I'm not encumbered by a cord while doing chores. Unfortunately, as far as I know, they don't make cordless noise-suppression headphones.

AB: I've heard Wait Wait Don't tell me. It is intriguing. My only fear is it may take me awhile to listen to it and 'news' shows get stale after awhile.

I'll have to check out Hometown Tales. Never heard it before.

GH: Prairie Home Companion ... kill me now. Sorry but I just don't get the whole Garrison Keillor thing.

Well, you may say its too late, but I think the colors in those shots are gorgeous. Sounds like it might be a good place to try your first overnighter!

I'd encourage you to listen to "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me." If you keep up on the news, it's great to download it each week and hear the guests joke about current events.

We also listen to "Hometown Tales" quite a bit.

2009-10-28T23:57:08.420-05:00

Thanks!

I started listening to This American Life in MP3 format on my lone drive from NYC to Mpls. after buying the Godson's classic Ford Escort.

By the way, I recommend cheap Maxell noise-suppression headphones (about $25 online) for vacuuming. (I believe we have the same vacuum model - great minds think alike.)

GH: No, I never learned. Never had a need and planes aren't cheap.

So, did you ever learn to fly as well?
