Here's a story about taking your money with you:
A miserly old fellow who saved a fortune and hoarded it called to his three sons, a Priest, Doctor and a Lawyer as he was reaching his final days. He told them that he had his millions of cash in boxes that he wanted each of them to throw in his grave as they paid their final respects. The sons carted out their boxes and the old man passed a few weeks later.
A few years later, the three brothers meet for the holiday at a bar for they had not seen each other since their father passed. After a few drinks, the Priest says, "I have to come clean for this has been bothering me. I took half of Dad's cash and donated it to the homeless and needy of the church." The doctor says, "Thank goodness for I took half of Dad's cash and we built a new children's wing at the hospital for families in need." The lawyer son takes another drink and says to his two brothers, "How dare you! Dad trusted us to help him fulfill his plan by placing the money in his grave!!!" "I'll have you two know that I put the money in the bank and I wrote a check for the full amount of each of the boxes he gave me!"

Now you can get up a 3 am to catch a sunrise and take a nap mid-day to catch up. :)
I'm not a big morning person. Easier for me to stay up all night and then take my nap...LOL. Thanks for your comment.

What do you do with your photos? Print? Sell? Just tinker with them for fun?
As we speak I have one image in the Museum of Ventura County and 3 in the Channel Islands Maritime Museum. I'm beginning to enter my pics in art shows where there is prize money as well in the local camera club and other judging opportunities. I'm also a photojournalist accredited by both the Los Angeles Press Club and the US Press Agency News as a leisure and sports photographer. Check out www.DicksPics.net. Thanks for asking. Hope you had a great 4th!

That is life's true challenge. Not to outlive your money but not have your money outlive you. My plan is to have my last check bounce... to the undertaker.
They have learned long ago to deal in CASH and properly assigned Insurance Policies. I also suggest that the last person in custody of your body, even lifeless, isn't the person to *mess* with.
