“Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – The United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan…As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense…With confidence in our armed forces – with the unbounded determination of our people – we will gain the inevitable triumph – so help us God.”

Had an insurance client whose health insurance expired when he hit sixty-five. The company thought he should go on Medicare and get a Medigap policy. It’s the way it works.
He said, well, I’m only sixty-four. Lied about his age on Dec 8. He had to keep that fake age to stay consistent on his paperwork for the rest of his life.
I called the company about it. They had a procedure. Apparently there was a lot of that going around.
He apologized to me for the trouble.
I had to look out the window for some time after that.
