But do they want the business of someone who's so Walkencentric?

How's this for luck? Just a day after I post the second of my two dreams for how to spend the rest of my life once I no longer have to work -- those dreams, you'll remember, now include (a) teaching myself that dance Christopher Walken did in Weapon of Choice, and then re-enacting it and (b) traveling the country with Sweetie and a choir and doing impromptu performances of Census Taker, just a day after I post that, I come across a website that provides trust services.

Trust services and financial planning are the key to achieving a dream of not working anymore. Well, one of the keys, the other being marry Britney for a couple of years, but I don't want to go that route. So this Northern Trust company looks to me to be a pretty good shot at securing a day when I no longer have to go to the office. I was clicking around and getting it set up, and they pretty quickly homed in on exactly what I need as far as personal financial planning; they have a bunch of different sections depending on what my goals and needs are. While I didn't yet see one for "people who have Christopher Walken based goals," I'm pretty sure they can help.

What I especially liked, seriously, was the part that allowed people in my profession (lawyering) to work with them and have them do the daily work in managing the finances while I focus on my actual career; that's exactly what I want out of a professional financial manager, and Northern Trust will be getting my business.
