Hi Kayaker,
Thank you for saying that I am a "youngster." But I gotta tellya, when you mentioned that MRD, it almost caused me to write another post in which I would have ended up parading my angst over conversion to Roth. But I knew that I would just fret around and come to no conclusion and continue to procrastinate on that one.
I see by your post that you are now a septuagenarian, and I bet your MRD's are going to find a much better tax environment than mine will when I reach that point. And besides, don't forget that 70 and 1/2 is the new 50 and 1/2 -- except where the IRS is concerned.
