It read pretty much like the one my dad had drawn up by the lawyer at the base. My impression is that if you can trust your executor(s) doing an very simple will will little details and then attaching a letter is really easy. It lets you change the letter over time. This is what my Dad's mom did for her will. Everything was left to Dad, but then Dad had a letter about gifts to give to others. It also allows an incremental improvement between letting the state handle everything and doing the whole thing.
What i'll be chatting with Christine about is getting a barebones document for each of us witnessed and notarized, and then working on writing up notes. Someday we may have enough complexity that actually running it by a human lawyer would be worth while.
