He's a she, and I'm in the office with her colleague now
who can't find it, but I've been put on the right track.

I suppose, but they're famous for bureaucratic incompetence.
The good thing about them is they tend to blanket approve
everything, whereas I understand that the general procedure
in the industry is to question everything.

Speaking of which, after he fell, my brother arranged for
psychological testing, which I told him he didn't need.
The insurance company agreed with my assessment, and
interestingly the office is going to challenge that
denial, against its own interest, because if my brother
is found responsible for the charges, he'll have to pay
more than the insurance company would for the testing.

The testing, by the way, showed tendencies toward malingering
consistent with factitious disorder.

As do many of my friends. I was having a hilarious chat with
my friend Dave's son-in-law about the exact issue.

Thanks for the offer, even if it's for the nebulous future.

and in enchiladas and nachos.
