Contingency planning... SighWe have done this, and updated, too! An elder law attorney can help you. I just had her update my mom’s trust. Now I have to retitle some of her accounts at the bank. I now have power of attorney, too.
We have kids, so they’re in the lineup. I don’t know what I’d do if we didn’t have interested parties.
Would your attorney be willing to be a successor trustee? Is that legal?

Breakfast Cereals@AndyD Bob’s Red Mill is a local company here in Portland Oregon.
I’m particularly fond of their gluten free muesli. I add milk and microwave for 30 seconds, then let the oats soften a bit before eating it.
They have oats, and gluten free oats. The difference is that the gluten free oats are processed in an area where contamination can’t happen. (Oats would be naturally gluten free, unless they’re getting accidentally dusted with flour.)
My brother works there.

Reich's take on Democrat's centrist positionsKindergarten is pretty early for TAG programs. And I say this as a parent who had a kid in NYC TAG kindergarten, 30 years ago. It was great, but not all kids have access enrichment programs before kindergarten, and testing before kindergarten just reinforces the strong bias towards money.

The Chicago kidnappings have begunTraumatizing adults and children, and leaving destruction in their wake. Shameful.

Sending troops to PortlandIt’s so stupid. We’re fine here in Portland. There’s some protesting down at the ICE facility, but not much. It’s a gorgeous day for knitting outdoors!

The fruit detective@dolmansaxlil I guess that’s why I can now tolerate jalapeños!
Speaking of which, I’m enjoying the cilantro/lime/jalapeño dressing in this avocado blueberry quinoa salad.

Shell gameThat’s fun!
I have an open dish of shells on my powder room counter. They could probably use a rinse. They’re all from different trips; I can’t remember which came from where any more.
