LUCKY LINDEN

There has been so much coverage of the shortcomings of our present Medicare system and analysis of the Paul Ryan attempt to head off the collapse of that system that Linden thought perhaps he should see what may lie ahead for him.

Linden, being 81 years of age and covered by the present Medicare system thought perhaps he should check on how soon he should provide his children for another reason to worry. So, thanks to his trusty computer, he discovered that his present life expectancy is seven more years in this vale of tears. Then, by checking on the anticipated life expectancy of the current Medicare system, he found reference to it going bust in 2018. Lets see, that is seven years from now…Linden and Medicare will die in the same year!

Unhappily, for those younger than Linden, the news is not so good. For each year you are younger than Linden you will have to find some sort of coverage after 2018. You may wish to study the Paul Ryan proposal. Good luck.

LINDEN’S LIFE

With Bill having returned from the Ukraine, all five of us, Bill, Chuck, Jack, Paul, and myself were present for our Thursday breakfast meeting. It was a good time with perhaps the highlight being Rapper Jack reciting, as we discussed Mitch Daniels not running for the Presidency, “if your family can’t take it, you ain’t gonna make it!” Recording not yet underway.

After I picked up my mail and returned home, the four Owens kids, ages six and under, came over from the Mission House. Last year, when Jade was two, I bought a sack of alphabet blocks for her to play with…they were pretty popular with the four kids.
