Have you ever not done something because you were not sure your life insurance policy would pay off in the unlikely event of your demise?

I cannot say that I have ever made a decision on that basis. But a few years ago, a guy I have known slightly for quite some time invited me to go flying with him in his little plane. He offered more than once.

I declined. It was a scheduling thing. He's a good guy and I am sure he is a fine pilot.

But I was afraid it would take an entire Saturday or Sunday. And I seldom book a whole weekend day away from family.

I have to admit, though, it did cross my mind that my modest life insurance policy has some small-print allusion to not covering accidents involving private airplanes.

I wouldn't want to judge before all the facts are in. But it would appear that I have, in fact, stopped rockin'.

You?
