Assisted Living

Insurance Special Agent Sam McNorris has been trying to sell nursing home insurance to Randall and Claire Nathan. Their financial advisor, Lynn Zeligman, has advised them against it.

"Lynn has a PhD in Consumer Finance from MIT," they told him.

"What could she know about money then? That's an engineering school. You people have too much faith in higher education. It's the profit motive that really makes the world go, and she doesn't sell anything, just gives advice. Besides, I took a 3 day course from Federated United."

Sam works for Federated United, know simply as FU to his clients.

"What's your end-of-life plan if you don't have nursing home insurance?" he challenged.

"We have a murder-suicide pact," said Rev. Nathan, mostly just to see the expression on Sam's face. He was not disappointed.

"Besides," Claire added, "men enter assisted living the day they get married, anyway."

  1. I remembered your blog in the middle of the night - John Robert has a blog! I'd read the first two entries, bookmarked it, and forgot about it until the middle of the night. Have now read all the entries from December 14th on and can't wait for more. It's wonderful that you're writing again. Thank you, thank you, love you. XXXSuz.
