Glad you had a great time at your conference. I wouldn't worry about the gallows humor you sent to W. I've mentioned to my 1st W and kids that I was worth more to them dead than alive (social security would pay them a lot more than my child support, plus life insurance). I'm pretty sure none of them have plots against me for this
The July 4 is probably just coincidence. Maybe it's a first Monday in July thing.
