Man (Not) At Work

billroperWork isn't (although the apps that have not yet been forceably uninstalled from my phone keep reminding me of meetings that I can no longer attend), but that does not mean that there aren't things that I need to be doing. Some of those are blocked until work actually sends me information that I need from them, but others can be taken care of.
I have paid the accountant for tax preparation, placed a call to my life insurance agent to see what we can do about reducing my monthly premium payment (I was told this can be done; now I need them to call back and do it), and spoke with my regular insurance agent about possible changes to auto insurance so that I know what my exposure is.
My *biggest* exposure, of course, is health insurance. I hope to get some ideas about that tomorrow when I talk to my financial advisor, although I expect that I will put the family on COBRA through year-end. I just really need to find out how to reasonably insure the kids in such a way that they can get the health care that I'm paying for.
In the meantime, I've started practicing for Debbie's Interfilk Guest concert at FKO. The number of days between now and then is relatively short and there's material to be worked up!
(I was looking at one of the songs today and said to myself "What rat bastard decided to chord this song in the key of F?" Then I looked at the music video and realized that the guitar player was playing a G chord. On a guitar that was detuned a full step. Well, that would do it. That song is *much* more playable in G.)
