Like most people my age, I've been dragged kicking and screaming into the age of technology. Including the world of Internet and e-mail and the reclassification of the disadvantaged to include people with only one phone line. I don't know what software you're using, but the stuff I'm going on gives my connection rate whenever I go online. It say, “You're connected at 44,000 BPS,” or 37,000 BPS or whatever. This affects the speed at which I can download information. So I'm thinking this would be a handy thing to flash on an unseen screen in the back of my mind when I meet a new person at a party. If it says, “You are connected at 3 BPS,” I would know to speak slowly to this person, keep it simple and move on as quickly as possible. If on the other hand it says, “You are connected at 3,000,000 BPS,” I better pay attention and keep it interesting and move the conversation on as quickly as possible. I would also consider this person as a potential life partner.
 Witch brings me to this. As the bunch of us gets older, we're seeing more commercials for wills. How to prepare them. Why to have them. What to put in them. I don't think wills are used to their full potential. First of all, don't try to say how much you care about people in your will. It just makes them feel bad. They don't need to read it from you after you're gone—they need to hear it from you while you're still around. To me the true fun is to use to use your will to make people improve themselves. For example, you can leave your riding mower to your neighbor provided he returns the hedge clippers he borrowed from you in 1973—and it has to be the exact pair—you get the picture. You can leave your barbeque to the people up the street provided they camp in your backyard listening to their dog bark all night as you did for so many years. You can leave five thousand dollars to the city provided they repave the street like they promised to in the last municipal election. You get the idea. Have some fun with it. A will is your last chance to make a point—and nobody can talk back.
