Teresa Giudice

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

The explosive first episode in the new season of THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY popped off our tv screens with a real life Italian American family war fueled by copious alcohol consumption byJoe Gorga, bother of Teresa Giudice [ji-o-dee-che].

Talk on the reality-tv circuit is Gorga and his wife Melissa are desperate for fame and skewering Joe and Teresa for all the world to see will do.

I can't say I'm a fan of Melissa, she's rubbing me and not in a good way.  Remember how reviled was Camille Grammer in the beginning - she netted lots of sympathy by season's end ... so, who knows! 

As for Teresa, the ravages of dubious fame is starting to burn.

But tis strange
And often times. to win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness tell us truths
Win us with honest trifles, to betrays'
In deepest consequence.

Thelma & Louise

Click topic for LINK


The sleeper hit of 20 years gone had modest box office emergence.  It gained critical appeal, thrice surpassed its budget and launched the career of leading man, Brad Pitt. 


The signature and final line ... "lets not get caught; lets keep going." ... launched a million debates.


Its iconic ending was meant to be mournfully different but in its stead, an uncompromising ending created movie history.


.... the freeze frame of the car "allows Thelma and Louise to dwell forever in that odd moment in movie history when women won the right to be just as crazy as men." (Slate.com's Dana Stevens) - lol, hahaha!

The School of Wealthy Parenting

Welcome to the Wellington Burt School for Wealthy Parenting.




A rich timber baron of Michigan, Wellington R. Burt, died in 1919 with a fortune but to protect his offspring, declared his fortune be bestowed 21 years after the death of his grandchildren.  His intent - to prevent the characters of his children and theirs becoming sullied by entitlement and avarice.  




Generation skipping trusts and myriad estate-planning structures have existed for years but typically spared the grandchildren.  This trust was particularly complex. 




Throughout their lives, Burt's children and grandchildren did receive small "allowances."  His family will now inherit approximately US$100 million and they are a substantially larger group of descendants.
