I continue to be insulted by nightly Freedom Health Medicare Advantage commercials. With each new commercial edition, the cast, and especially the older red-haired gentleman with glasses, assume new roles. He, in particular, exudes zero warmth or believability. Refresh your cast.

Attention, medical administrative staffers: Every patient needs to complete your office forms, but please allow enough space for answers to your questions and consider the color of the paper. Black or blue ink on royal blue paper makes no sense and makes your staff squint to see. The form I completed last week leaves only one inch to write in your other doctor’s name.

Congrats to Gene Deckerhoff for an outstanding career in broadcasting. Not only will the Bucs fans miss you (as FSU fans have), but all who enjoyed your exciting calls. You never degraded an opponent and were always first-class. Best always.

Thank you for my credit cards’ security staffs, who alert me about suspicious purchases.
