The Annual Election Period begins today, October 1st. You can’t make any changes until October 15th, but if you are concerned about your coverage…

Do book a time on my calendar.

If you are happy with your current coverage, and your Annual Notice of Changes looks good, you don’t need to call me. Just be sure to ignore all the noise from Captain Kirk and the rest.

Quantz and Nicholas_The Big 65

Well Quantz left me, again… this time for London, to see our Air Force son Nicholas.

Marley the Dog

Susan, in Florida (she’s okay), sent this picture of her Buckeye loving baby named Marley.

That’s it for this week.
