Swam, biked, and ran a sprint triathlon. My first one. I was in a hurry - finiished 7th out of 34 in my age group. I don't think I've ever had that much fun while getting a great workout.

Today I went out in the garage and changed the oil on my Camry. At 62 it's getting harder and harder to do this task. Used to be a piece of cake but today I'm a hurtin cowboy. Took 2 Aleve's and went and sat in my chair.

DW and I went to a wine tasting down in Carmel. After hobbling around sampling Syrah, pounding Pinots, chugging Cabs and sipping Sauv Blancs,...
Cheer and Salud!
Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment.
As for me, either I came down with the stomach flu, or else it was that dubious milk that I put on my oatmeal this morning....
To each their own, but sampling fine wines sure sounds preferable to me & DW .

FIFY...How [-][-]creepy[/-] nice[/-] old that must seem to you.
Does it seem clear what you are to do now that you are now under Medicare?
Yes. I'm still 3+ months away from my go live date, but the enclosed information is pretty good. It includes a checklist of what you need to do as well as providing a pretty good outline of the program and a promise of more detailed info to follow. No surprises as I've been doing some research in advance of becoming an official geezer.
Looks like the combined cost of Medicare and a supplemental policy may cut my annual premium (individual BC/BS high deductible policy) cost about 50% while providing improved coverage and lower deductibles - at least initially. I'm sure costs will continue climbing and coverage will be pared back in the future.
My primary physician does take Medicare, so I'm OK there. Unfortunately he's one of those oddball Docs who wants to retire early and has already cut back to half days even though he's 5 years younger than I am. Whatever happened to the work ethic in this country...

I'm 5 months away from Medicare and also wondering about my federal BCBS.How [-]creepy[/-] nice that must seem to you. Does it seem clear what you are to do now that you are now under Medicare?
I am dreading that day because who knows if my doctor will even take it, or how Medicare will interact with my federal BCBS, or what awful surprises might be in store. (shudder)
Probably I have been reading too many negative articles about Medicare. I hope.
Um-- congratulations....? Condolences?Received my "Welcome to Medicare" packet and ID card in the mail...
Maybe he figures that he only needs liability insurance if he has assets. And if he had any assets, I wonder if he'd be performing at the county fair...I don't know how this guy can deal with liability.
