Medicare Signup

This morning we went to Joe Saltel's dance at Tropic Star. I danced with Jean again, but I found out that she will be going back to Indiana in a couple of weeks. Most of her other partners have already left. In the hot hash tip at the end, I finally got to dance with Marty and Kit for the first time this season. The dances are so big that the odds of dancing with any given couple are pretty low. Hardy and Judy and Linda and Terry were in the square too--we had a great time.

On the way home we stopped to do some grocery shopping, then headed home to eat lunch quickly before Ken's scheduled call from Social Security about his Medicare signup. Interestingly, you can't sign up for Medicare online; you have to call, and when you do, they make an appointment for a telephone call. It was quick and pretty straightforward. Ken signed up for Medicare Parts A and B, which will start of May 1, although his birthday isn't until May 14. We're still waiting for the information from Northrop Grumman about the Medicare supplemental type policy they will subsidize.
We went over to the exercise room to walk on the treadmills, since it was cold, windy, and rainy. No one else was there, and we ended up spending an hour walking while watching an episode of Bones. It was a rather silly plot, a takeoff on Wisteria Lane, but it kept us amused while we got our exercise.
