I have not heard a thing about my car accident since July. While certainly curious, the whole thing had put me in a funk for far too long... so I tucked it away and placed my faith in the 'ole adage "no news is good news."
In today's mail, lurking among a handful of Christmas cards, was an envelope from my insurance company. My heart sunk... no way was this crap going to resurface just days before Christmas.
I cautiously opened it...
December 19, 2006
We have concluded the handling of your insurance claim (date of loss: May 12, 2006) in which we were attempting collection. We were able to make a recovery which included your deductible. We are attaching our payment which is your proportionate share of your deductible based on the same percentage as our recovery.
Out popped a check for $500 -- 100% of my deductible.
Like some sappy Christmas movie, the music began to swell with "The End" popping onto the screen.
I kind of feel like Jimmy Stewart running through town... Merry Christmas, movie house! Merry Christmas, Emporium! Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!
So, political-correctness aside, Merry Christmas to all!
Here is the Christmas card that I sent out to most of the folks on my snail-mail list:
Inside: Wishing You Peace and Happiness this Christmas and in the New Year.
Todd is home all next week... I am working "as needed"... so I am going to try to detach myself from the computer as much as possible... thus W&C likely won't be back in full-gear until the New Year... stay safe, don some gay apparel, remember to breathe... eat, drink, and be merry!
Hope the rest of your holiday is fun, and I'll see you back online in 2007!!
