I got a notice in the mail.

$2,000 free life insurance coverage just because I am a member of my credit union. All I had to do was fill out a form and mail it in. That's it. I promptly forgot to fill out the form and left the country.

4 months later I remembered the form but I had left it in a differnt city. The form had been on my mind the entire time. $2,000. What if I died? My family would be out two grand. Fear of loss is a hell of a thing.

I love to travel and I guess I feel like if I ever check out, somebody should win something, you know. The truth is, that I feel like life insurance is license to shinnanegans. Its great. Live life knowing that you're covered. So why hadn't I called?

I tried to call a couple of weeks ago but my cellphone ran out of minutes. I called last week but their computers were down. Well, I've got minutes on my cellphone again. I guess I should call them and set it up. After all, why should I be afriad of life... insurance.

With Love,
