When I die, the kids are going to agonize over what to
do with my piano.

Is that a good thing?

Earlier this year, I had to go through all my Dad's stuff when he died.
All these photographs from the 1930s and 1940s, mostly of people
I never met and know nothing about. Why should I keep them? But
how can I throw them out?

It will be worse for my daughter. She's likely to inherit a 50 year run
of the American Mathematical Monthly. What in the name of Gauss
is she going to do with it?

I think if you're lucky enough to see the end coming,
you ought to get your stuff in order,
throw out or sell off everything you know your kids
will have no use for,
and put clear labels on the rest.

By the way, I'm sure my daughter will be happy to take
that piano off your hands. Maybe we can get the Stonehenge guy
to move it to Australia for us.
