Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

Ahhh that yearly call from my parents of “how do we get in and do a bracket?” This years feature was going to ESPN.com and typing in brackets to their search bar so every article that mentions brackets comes up but not the bracket challenge website.

My sister created a bracket group. She sent the link to her boyfriend with the password FranIsMad123. He replied 'who is Fran and why is she mad?'

This is my dad trying to use uber. He has 2 masters degrees and is defeated by an app my 10 year old God kid can generally use with address help.

I remember trying to show my dad how to use a mouse on a PC. Watching him attempt a double click was funny.

When my mom went into the care facility, I thought I would get her a cell phone (she had a flip phone for a while but those weren't supported at the time by verizon) and smart phones were the only option. Trying to explain the home button made me just have a regular phone hooked up.

I advise everyone to NOT LOOK at anything they have invested in the stock market. I took a look at the stocks I have in an investment account and I couldn't sit down for a bit. Stocks are taking it up the rear right now.

6 women's brackets currently entered...all are complete.

7 men's brackets entered...1 is incomplete.

Room for more, RTT'ers. First Prize is a special photo and personalized message texted from our very own @BCClone (unless my daughter wins--I would never give my daughter's number to BC).

Other valuable (and legal) prizes will be awarded. Still time to play!!

You out there @BoxsterCy ? You would lend some class to the event if you entered.

I'm leaning towards starting Medicare at 65 and dropping my company health plan. It seems like I could save money and I could up my 401k % to make up for the loss of the HSA

Have you considered what plan you will use for your Medicare supplemental? Your company may offer a discounted premium post-retirement. Per our conversations with the non-partisan insurance adviser, our premium was in the mid-range of available plans, but in the top tier of benefits.
