This past Jan. my father retired from his 20+ year position. He filled out his paperwork and filed it in time for it to be processed. I just spoke with my mother. It seems that the same office that processes the same forms that my dad filled out also process the Medicare D debacle. According to the folks that Mom talked with, it's going to take longer than it normally would because they are wallowing in the nightmare known as Medicare-Part D.

Thanks Tom. Thanks Joe. That stressed out mother who just called me in a snit? Much appreciated.

Some of you know me from over at Daily Kos. A few others of you may know that I spent a chunk of my grad school days living in the North Texas area. That NTexas connection is how I started looking at Dave Harris as a contender when it comes to Dr. Dean's 50 State Initiative and the race to Take Back the House of Representatives.
