Michael Jackson as a cautionary tale for normal human beings

For whatever his eccentricities -- with new ones seemingly coming at a fast and furious pace -- there is a lesson to be learned from Michael Jackson's untimely death. And it's not that "grieving" fathers out on the town will pimp their new record label to anyone within earshot. (Ewww.)

No, as an attorney, I suggest that if:

. . . You have "interesting" parents. . .



. . . "Unique" siblings who often work at cross-purposes . . .



. . . You "have children" . . .




. . . You have -exes (so to speak) of one type . . .


. . . or another . . .


. . . or another . . .


. . . and they all might not play very nice after you're gone
(not unlike when you were alive) . . .


. . . and your sanity could be questioned after you've passed . . .

. . . and you'd like to prevent hassles from the above players arising after your death, then it's wise to meet with an attorney who works in the field of estate planning.

Which I happen to do.

You could e-mail me here, and we could set up a time to chat.

Opening Time, Closing Time, Equally Crazy

We already knew WalMart was killing the country economically, but it now has an on-site death toll on its hands. It not only sucks the life out of its towns, but out of its temp sales associates, too.

As does Toys R Us and its customers.

If these weren't so tragic, they'd be ridiculous.

It's said that nothing good happens after 2 a.m. Apparently, that now means when you start your day interacting with people, instead of just after the bar.

And here's a video of an early morning Black Friday WalMart opening from last year:



Think that this was truly unforeseeable?
