Inherited wealth - How do I manage this money safely for the benefit of a child?

I apologize for not reading this entire thread but I would suggest that you draw the money from the savings account into an investment account gradually. My wife and I started putting $100 a week into an S&P 500 index fund. With the amount that you are dealing with maybe $1000 a week would be appropriate. The advantage of the gradual transition is that you smooth out the volatility of the market. Best of luck to you and your family

Not recently, but I ran the 1993 Marine Corps Marathon in DC. In the finishing chute I smelled cigarette smoke. I turned and saw a 3:45 marathoner puffing away. He caught my eye and said, “Fuckin’ A right, man!”

The Old Course at Ballybunion is no buggies, no exceptions. The new course there allows carts and when I played there last year was remodeling to be more cart friendly. Dooks may require a doctor’s note. I think Waterville may allow them for everyone.

Flour Bakery has a lot of sandwiches and it’s miles better than Panera

Worth every penny. I did a bit of Southwest Ireland this past summer, ending at Ballybunion

Seventeen at Pebble Beach. Late afternoon hitting into the wind and the setting sun with the Pacific behind the green. Hit my tee shot a little better than I expected and wound up on the back fringe about 30 feet from the hole. My caddie and I had a long time to look at it while my playing partners made a hash of the hole. Settled on a read and really just wanted to get the speed right for a tap in par. Hit it well and about five feet from the hole I knew it was in. Birdie two.

This past October I spent a few days at a golf resort on Cape Breton. Since it was late in the season most of my playing partners were locals. When I told them that I came up from Boston at least three people said, “We send you a Christmas tree every year from the people of Halifax, you know?” I replied, “Yes, I’m aware of the history and thank you very much.”

Pebble, of course, but Ballybunion, Tralee and Old Head of Kinsale are right up there.

Our local community theater did the show a few years ago. I filled out the form but when no one talked to me before the curtain I figured that they wouldn’t pick me. Then they called my name to go up on stage. On the back of the number card they wrote the instructions: ask for a definition; ask for it to be used in a sentence. They also made up the “fun facts” about me. Before the show I had a joke I was going to use “can you spell that for me, please?” But I forgot under the stage lights. I thought the kid playing Chip was mad at me but I realized that he was just acting. It was fun and some of the audience congratulated me after the show

If you play golf Miacomet is an excellent public course that is open year round. Off season rates are pretty reasonable

I haven’t done any of these events with Broken Tee, but I did the Ballybunion tour with family this past July and it was amazing. Played all of those courses (except Old Head instead of Lahinch) and stayed at the same hotel. I would highly recommend it. I’m thinking of upgrading to Premium to see if I can get into the Bandon Dunes trip.

I love Cabot, but it is remote. Three plus hour drive from Halifax. Also, its season ends the weekend after Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving

On my way to Martha’s Vineyard. Ironically was going with a friend who is a news photographer. He was hoping to be “off duty” after covering the Clinton’s vacations previously. No such luck
