I enjoyed the contrast between the insurance underwriter and his spiritual wife. You draw out the humor in the couple's relationship. My father was an insurance underwriter, not only for property but for crops. He pursued this work in the days before computers and used manuals with tables to compute risk. He had to maintain a delicate balance between sales and accounting. If he was too cautious, sales suffered. If he took on too much risk, the bottom line suffered. As a child, I never understood what he did. Ah, awards based on statistical excellence rather than reputation. What a concept!
TK, both extremely fun reading and very, very relatable. I can't say I miss those days too much but when they were happening it was somehow more digestible. And the stories and memories those corporate years provide? Endless. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed it. - Jim
Thanks for reading, Jim. It was fun to write despite still being deep in the mire of insurance. I have to go to one of these types of conventions next week. Blah. 5840ish days to retirement. 😄

Tjanks, KC! I love it that someone understands that delicate balance of underwriting. I work in claims myself, but underwriting intrigues me.
As a veteran of corporate out of town annual events that I don't miss one bit - this was very funny.
Thank you, Logan! Glad it landed. Wish me luck on surviving my conference next week!
Agree with Shandi, love the additions from your prior draft. Great work!!
Thank you, Alison! ❤️
I LOVE the extensions in this since the last time I read it. And it makes me love Stevie more! Good bless tigers eye and immodium!
I thought you might like the extra 800ish words. Thanks for always being my beta-reader. ❤️
Most definitely!

Drink TK, just drink. And in the morning go to the omelet line, bacon, croissant, and orange juice. Then drink again that night.
