Dear Santa

Newsletter – Wednesday, December 15, 2010

 

Dear Santa, 
 
I heard on the news that December 6th was ‘Green Monday’, the day all of the online shoppers rush to place their orders so they will be guaranteed to have them before Christmas.  Since this is more or less an online list, I hope I am not too late!
 
The truth is (and I could never imagine this happening to me when I was young) I have run out of things to put on my list. I already have too much stuff and I am seriously thinking of simplifying my life. I have an amazing family, great wife & kids, awesome job and coworkers, the best of friends & enough wine to share with them. However, since you and I began writing many years ago, people are always asking me to put in a good word for them, so here goes:
 
  • First, I would like you to bring Congress a tax plan that would pay for everything they spend and get them to live within the same constraints that the rest of us live with.
 
  • Please take care of our troops in Afghanistan and keep them safe. Please inspire our leaders with a plan to ensure the safety of the Afghan people and a speedy end to this war.
 
  • I know we have a great group of insurance markets but there is this one in particular that is writing long-haul trucking… pleeeease can you send them our way?
 
  • The Tuscano Property & Package team would like you to let our agents know they want to write more restaurants, large dwelling schedules, hotels, and vacant property. (I told them that I thought their list was too long, but when they came back they had added even more!)
 
  • The Heavy Casualty team would like some energy and mining accounts to work on, especially the Marcellus Shale operations – you know be Pennsylvanian, buy Pennsylvanian. We think we can really do this right!
 
  • Jamie Clawson sent me a note last September asking for some great new talent for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and I would like to add that they all be given 10-year, no-trade options in their contracts.
 
  • The Personal Lines department wanted to ask for a nifty new rater – maybe one that gives comparison quotes for personal umbrella coverage?
 
Santa, I just want to close by saying how happy it makes me that my 12-year old son Sam still believes in you. A little magic in our lives makes it so much easier to get it right and pass it on.
 
Travel safely on Christmas Eve and don’t forget to stop by for some wine & cheese!
