Recently, on a beautiful Saturday morning when many golfers were still hitting the ball, I found myself going into a grocery store buying donuts that would be given later that morning to individuals interested in attending a free estate-planning seminar. The day before, I was in Staples purchasing name tags, binders and copying presentations for the next day's presentation. The night before the Staples visit, I was on the phone with my fellow university alumni friends discussing a future alumni event in my area in which I would be involved.
