Kids Stop Talking To Father Over Will
From the Social Q’s column of the New York Times, a story about some friction between father and child over a will:
My husband and I, both 70, were married two years ago after living together for 20 years. When we shared our plans with his grown children, then 25 and 28, they were angry. His son demanded to see my husband’s will, which my husband showed him. In it, he leaves his entire estate to me, just as I leave mine to him. His son had hoped to inherit my husband’s New York loft and pay me an allowance. Eventually, the loft will go to his two children, and our upstate property will go to them and my daughter. Still, his children accused him angrily of not putting family first. It has now been two years since they spoke to their father. In their last conversation, my husband said he loved them and was always there to talk. Should he reach out to them, or is the onus on them to apologize? Also, should we tell them we’ve decided to sell the loft?
Wow. What the hell. This is awful. My father-in-law remarried after his wife died, and I suppose I can see where his children would be upset if everything was left to his new wife. But certainly not with this reaction. I’ve been mad at my mother plenty of times but I don’t stop speaking to her. Two years? TWO YEARS? Are these people nuts? The author agrees with me so I recommend the article, linked below.

What is a fantast? Depends who you ask
Today’s word of the day is fantast. Which spell check does not think is a word but the Internet does.
I was trying to type “fantasyguru.com” and typed “fantast”. The definitions intrigue me.
Dictionary.com says a fantast (or phantast) is “a visionary or dreamer.”
Merriam Webster says:
1 : VISIONARY
2 : a fantastic or eccentric person
3 : FANTASIST
TheFreeDictionary says “someone who predicts the future” (if you scroll down).
Not bad for a word I didn’t know was a word.
