Dear Jim:
I know I told you to send me a sign when you arrived to wherever you are. I didn’t mean you had to get into my golf swing and start messing with it as a sign that you were connected with me.
I have never hit a shank in golf in my life and yesterday I didn’t hit anything else for an hour.
I tried everything and couldn’t fix it until finally I said to myself...” It’s Jim” just letting me know!
I went out today and sure enough everything was back to normal.
Ok then, I confirm we are now connected…no more signs S.V.P
And by the way it was a nice touch making me “co-executor” of your estate, instead of “one of” the executors. This way I get to sign every document, approve every action, and learn first-hand the probate procedures in Ontario, Nova Scotia and Florida combined with my now useless knowledge of Quebec rules and procedures.
You did know you live in a different province than me…right?
Who knew I would be getting to meet a whole raft of new legal friends and banking acquaintances with “yes, but” following every question or suggestion I make?
I had wondered what I was going to do in my spare time this year and you single handidly solved that problem for me with the little “Co” addition to your will. Nice touch…I’ll bet you did that on purpose. That’s what friends are for.
It was also a nice addition to see that you had ignored all my suggestions earlier this year about winding up your company and selling your vacation home in Antigonish. This allows me to dig deep into the tax consequences in three provinces and two countries. Hells bells, I am going to be an expert before this is done and can probably get consulting gigs.
And finally, when I asked you to get rid of all those joint accounts it must have been after you lost your hearing, and now I get to watch your money grow all over the banking system for the many months I will spend getting those accounts closed.
I have always said you were a special friend and you have come through with an exclamation point! For certain I'm not going to forget you any time soon.
Enjoy yourself, you have a front row seat.
Bill Meder
