Milagros Mendez took to certain precautionary measures to prevent misgivings, miscalculations and misinformation. She was the administrative assistant at a state agency and she clocked in the hours as necessary to receive her weekly paycheck; took pride in what she did, and did what she was told. She always was careful, took many precautions and was a thorough researcher, maintaining and updating her records, her health insurance, keeping up with her pension plan.

But one day, she came into work and her boss point-blank berated her in front of her co-workers because she was one-second late coming into the door. He fired her on the spot. Milagros was stunned, bewildered and scared and was at a total loss, so she called California Health Insurance agent Matt Lockard for some advice.

For once in her life this was something that was unexpected, even as good at predicting things and taking precautionary measures as she has been known to do, she found herself in a bind: unemployed and uninsured all at once!

The fall leaves were just turning their magnificent colors and the air was getting cooler as each day passed – ghouls, scarecrows, and pumpkin patches were cropping up everywhere; soon Christmas decorations. What in the world will she do now? Does she want to go back to a nine-to-five clocking in the hours, overworked and under-appreciated, or does she want to finally pursue her dream of being a Cantonese translator, take that trip to China, a place she so long wanted to go?

California Health Insurance agent Matt Lockard reassured her at least she was covered in case of accidents and illnesses, so she set forth to forge her future, taking classes, freelancing here and there to pay her bills and what-not.

Matt Lockard contacted her after a year or so and found out that Milagros landed herself in rural California maintaining an apiary as well, with a fiancé and some land.

“We just came back from China,” Milagros told Matt. “I will e-mail you the pictures of us at the Great Wall!”

After California Health Insurance agent Matt Lockard hung up the phone with Milagros, he smiled and thought to himself that dreams do come true.

There were once two sisters, Melissa and Margie Carr, who were best of friends growing up. They did everything together; wore matching outfits. Everyone thought they were actually twins. But Melissa was really two years older than Margie, and it was Margie who always acted like she was older than Melissa, sometimes bossing her around.

But one day, along came Matt Lockard, the future California Health Insurance agent – a dapper man in his youth – who unknowingly stole the hearts of Melissa and Margie in high school. The sisters swooned and vied for his attention but Matt had his heart elsewhere. So lo and behold, the sisters grew up and did not speak to each other after their big fight over Matt Lockard. Melissa moved to Connecticut after getting out of the Army and Margie stayed in California, got married, raised a daughter and ended being a stay-at-home mom.

When Margie’s husband hurt his back from carrying a large package and couldn’t work his postal service job, Margie Carr decided to contact Matt Lockard because she heard through the grapevine that he became a superstar California Health Insurance agent.

Matt, who was elated to hear from his high school classmate, helped Margie with her predicament. Thanksgiving was right around the corner and Margie wanted so much to thank Matt, the California Health Insurance agent, for all that he did for her family by inviting him and his family over for Thanksgiving dinner.

Matt kindly and humbly accepted.

On Thanksgiving day, Margie answered the door to find Matt, his family, and a surprise that Matt brought along with him: her long, lost sister Melissa.

“Well, I decided to look up another classmate of mine, and I believe she actually belongs to you,” said Matt, the ever dapper California Health Insurance agent.

Melissa and Margie burst into tears and hugged one another.

“I can’t believe we fought over this guy!” Margie said, as she playfully and softly punched Matt’s shoulder.

“I brought you something, sis,” Melissa said after they all settled and found a place to sit in the Margie’s living room. “I got this when I was stationed in Korea and kept it just in case one day, you know, you’d come around.”

Margie opened up the present to find two tiny, identical Japanese dolls wearing the same kimonos, with one wearing a gold nametag engraved, “Melissa” on it, and the other “Margie”.

Mr. Fluey never believed in getting his annual flu shot like everyone else. He believed the scare-tactic from the health industry was a hype just to boost pharmaceutical sales. He was always very healthy, took his Vitamin C and Echinacea; ate right and exercised daily, did his meditative Tai Chi every morning with the seniors. At 87 years old, he still had more than his wits about him. He still stood tall, made sure he had his best fedora on before he went out, and could still drive his car wherever he wanted to. So, what the heck? He escaped the swine flu or the various strains this year, so life is still great.

The next year, he went into his local pharmacy and ran into Matt Lockard, the California health insurance agent, teaming up with the store to promote their flu vaccination program.

“Hello, sir,” Matt greeted Mr. Fluey, “Have you gotten your flu shot yet?”

“Flew, flu, fluey!” Mr. Fluey replied, in the manner of, “Bah humbug!”

“I beg your pardon?” Matt asked.

“The flu shot are for sissies,” Mr. Fluey said. “I survived the Great Depression, Normandy, and Reagan; so certainly, the flu is nothing to me!”

“So you’re a veteran?” Matt asked with interest.

“Yeah, but I don’t go to the VA hospital, either. Don’t want to hang around vets in wheel chairs, talking about war wounds, and I don’t believe in the flu shot neither. I feel if you get something, you get it. That’s it. End of story!” Mr. Fluey said.

Matt Lockard, the California health insurance agent, looked perplexed. “So, what do you do if you get sick?”

“I just weather out the storm.”

“If you don’t believe that the flu shot can prevent you from getting the horrid flu, preventing you from seriously getting ill, and die, what is it that you do believe in, sir?”

“I believe in getting a beer,” Mr. Fluey said, shrugging his shoulders.

Later, Matt Lockard, the California health insurance agent, found himself at the local pub with Mr. Fluey.

“You know,” Matt said turning to Mr. Fluey with his beer mug. “I still get my shot every year, but here’s to your tenacity, fortitude and belief in beer!”

Scott Boroughs was always a gangly kid who felt out of place with his peers. He had only one best friend growing up who was practically as awkward as he was.

During baseball season and many years walking past the sandlot as a kid, always watching from a distance, he never knew the fascination of baseball. Every boy got it and now every girl in America, too. His father and grandfather, who were both life-long California health insurance agents, talked about it and obsessed about it – but it all sounded like a foreign language to him. Somehow it was supposed to mean something.

But there she was. In her baseball cap, sitting alone in the corner of the bar, watching her team intently and silently rooting for them. Scott felt his heart thump faster and didn’t know why. She looked up and smiled at him briefly, then looked back at the TV.

Scott was just going to grab a beer and leave since this was the only hotel bar around. Being that it was a sports bar, he wasn’t even going to go in, but was glad he did. Scott sat next to her in silence. Finally she asked him who his favorite team was.

“I don’t have one,” he said reluctantly.

A disappointed look went over her face.

Scott went to bathroom and hurriedly called his buddy, Matt Lockard, a California health insurance agent, to help him out. Matt told him what to say to her, play by play.

That was 10 years ago.

Since then she taught him baseball, and he taught her how to play a mean game of Scrabble, memorizing all the tough two-letter words, until she became his biggest contender.

For her birthday, he wanted to surprise her and actually wanted to take her to the game. But he didn’t want to take her to any game, so he planned it just right and got front-row tickets to see their team who made it to the playoffs!

The first hit was a foul ball that was coming their way. Scott, who never played a lick of baseball in all his life, stood up with his baseball mitt and dove like a pro after the ball like he saw those players do so many times.

However, when Scott caught the ball, he stood up for one brief moment to find that he was teetering at the edge of the railing and fell over the balcony with a big thud.

Matt Lockard, the California health insurance, always made sure Scott was up to par with his health insurance and Scott didn’t have to worry about a thing but to heal his broken leg and bruised body.

The cameras caught Scott’s heroic catch and blunder, and all of America saw Scott’s instant replay that even went viral on the Internet, that he became an overnight sensation.

Not bad for a gangly, awkward kid who never knew baseball!

“I think you need to stick to Scrabble,” his wife said.

California Health Insurance agent Matt Lockard did his best to cheer Dorothy up, but she still feels like “she’s in Oz” since crashing her 10-speed into her high school’s cement façade.

The first few days back in school felt like a pleasant dream to Dorothy. Each day that week, she rode her spiffy new 10-speed to her high school in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Her purple bike had been safely tethered to the crowded bike rack each day, the 12-mile freeway ride proving relatively uneventful. She was a junior now, on track in her college prep courses for UCLA, and she was caught up on her homework and having a blast. But on the Friday of that fateful first week, the health insurance plan that her beloved great-grandfather had purchased from California Health Insurance agent Matt Lockard, proved fortuitous. Her great-grandfather, known in the neighborhood as a cowardly lion because of his pacifist views, had served as Dorothy’s guardian since she’d been in 7th grade and her parents had both died of “that rash.”

But on that fateful Friday, she suffered more than scrapes and bruises, more than mere contusions, when she smacked into the side wall of her school’s cement façade. She hadn’t been paying attention, she later admitted. Dorothy was knocked unconscious, but she’d recovered a bit by the time the ambulance came. Still, she was somewhat delirious and kept yelling: “Where art thou, great-grandfather, ye cowardly lion?” as if it were a mantra.

In her hospital room, the surroundings were unfamiliar, surreal, and in a word, strange. Even when her beloved great-grandfather came a calling, and brought along California Health Insurance agent Matt Lockard, she kept referring to that stoic man from Ventura as “the Tin Man,” which was quite unfair as Matt does indeed have a heart, and it beats, yeah, it beats. Finally, he showed that heart, saying to Dorothy, “Your great-grandfather loves you, and besides, everything’s covered and I’ve brought your homework.” All the time, Matt smiled, pleasantly showing his teeth – including several molars of the type never before seen in the mythical land of Oz.

But at the mention of homework, Dorothy snapped out of her trance, sort of. “Thank you, Tin Man,” she said, smiling.
