Hey Dave!

-> hn> -> already be...  I'm sending lots of hope for
-> hn> -> amicable settlement here... ;)  (And a lawyer
-> hn> -> say the hard things probably is also a good idea!)
-> 
-> hn> Yep! right now the "new"  arrangement is that they stay in the
-> hn> house while the estate is being  processed, and they each pay a 
-> hn> minimal (REALLY minimal) amount in "rent" and are expected to do 
-> hn> the housework and maintenance that's required (yard work etc.). 
-> hn> Utilities, cable, internet, food and such are their own 
-> hn> responsibilities and not part of  the "rent". Way more than fair 
-> hn> in my estimation.

-> Are you taking bets on how that will work out?

If I could get any takers I'd be a 
really rich man really fast I think!!
Brother in law is already panicking 
because the terminex bill arrived
yesterday...and he had not figured 
that expense would be "his"...told
him to split it three ways and present
the bill to the boys...doubt he will
do it though. He has no cajones at all.
 
-> All my best to the girls ... and to Cousin Kenny. He was a neat dude 
-> when I met him at the Northwet Crab Fest. Does his retirement have a 
-> component for combat pay? Him having survived two attacks on the World 
-> Trade Centre ought to be worth something except a feeling of relief.
-> 
The girls are making progress...we went down
to the beach and had a small family memorial
moment and put flowers on the water for Mom.
Kenny was a champ while the girls were in NY.
Anywhere they needed to go he was there for
them and did a lot of extra things to make it 
easier for the family. Yeah, I agree with you 
about the World Trade Center...after the 
second attack and the towers coming down 
Kenny was pretty impacted with the event. 
He lost his secretary in his office in one 
of the towers...and if he had not been 
teaching an import/export class that 
morning he'd have been in his office at 
that time as well...as it was he barely got
away. He said if the towers had not come
down he'd never have been able to go back
to work in them. He should have gotten something
but he did not (as far as I know).  He was a
pretty high mucky-muck in Customs...now
Homeland Security...so I imagine his retirement
check is pretty hefty anyway.
chat with you soon!
