Hey, Jake. We don't agree on a thing but I have always considered you one of my pals here.

Guess what? I am not going to get back into it with you about guns. It really isn't worth it on the cosmic scale of things.

I am waiting for a call back from my dad's longtime financial adviser about the distribution of his estate. She is with UBS in Boston. Yeah, I know, you can't swing a dead cat without reading another news article about UBS shenanigans. He trusted her absolutely, and he did not easily trust people to manage his money. I am going to leave my share of the estate under her stewardship. If she was good enough for him she is good enough for me.
