55° AM – 32° 7 PM
If I had gone to mail box this AM instead of about 6:00 tonight – I would have had one less day worrying about where the $10,000 check would be deposited at the Ohio State Bank – so reassuring to find – among the junk mail – an envelope with return address Reassure America Life Insurance Co – $10,000 check made out to me enclosed. I had called McDaneisl to ‘reassure’ them I would be in to pay for my new red Prius when the check was deposited. So tomorrow it will be – by me – RALI.
Had emailed David to contact RALI so I called him – he had emailed me earlier that Norm Fogt died thurs at Colo Hospital (Marion Star web page)
Finished compiling tax infor except for checking contributions.
