GETTING MY DUCKS IN A ROW

This is going to be a loaded week. After a long and informative chat with a close friend who's a doctor, I am heeding her advice and will draft up a document designating a medical proxy, and I will also have a long think ahead of sitting down and writing up a living will. I will never forget the nightmare Mildred went through when her mother died without leaving a will, and I will not inflict such misery upon my family. Instead, I will inflict upon them a clearly-delineated and fair distribution of my earthly treasures and meager assets.

I have a good attitude ahead of the bypass surgery, but I want to have my ducks in a row should the Valkyries come to claim me. Some of you will be consulted as I figure out who I would like to handle my estate in the event of my departure for Sto'Vo'Kor. (I would also accept accommodation in Valhalla.) Anyway, I have much to think about.
