Wishing you and yours a very happy season, and a GREAT New Year!!

Hi!
I went to the doctor. She told me she had good new and bad news. Which did I want first. I told her – “Give me the bad news.” She told me, “Jim, you are going to die.” I thought WOW!!

I then asked, “What’s the good news?” She replied, “We don’t know when!”

Isn’t that the way? We are all going to die. We know that our time is not infinite. We just do not know the time or the hour. It’s going to happen.

So what are you doing today to get ready for when you are not here tomorrow? Bill Porter, a guy at work, died a few weeks ago. He was 61. James Murdoch, another guy I knew that also worked with me, died last March. He was buried on March 17th. He was 66. I always thought James was younger than I was and I thought he was in pretty good shape. Turns out he was in such good shape that he just looked younger than I was, but was in fact a lot older. He used to walk in the stairwell, every day at lunch time, from the basement to the top and back – twice. He died in his sleep.

I’m getting my house in order. Since I don’t know when, I want to be sure that everything goes well when I am not around any more.

Hope you are doing well. When are you leaving and do you have your house in order?

I’ve been working on a couple of projects. I can’t really say too much about them at this time – really. I will say that one of the projects has to do with wine and one of the others is about investments.

I hope to have more around the beginning of June. Stay tuned!
