Breakfast: From Burger King

- potatoe disks
- coffee
Lunch: at the new "Mexican" place where "Delmonicos" used to be, I had a variety of Mexican dishes and two glasses of "Diet Coke". It was fine.
Dinner: Lean Crusine Three Meat PIzza: pepperoni, italian sausage and seasoned ground beef with reduced fat mozzarellas cheese and cold water.
This would have been my Grandma Lil's 114th birthday.She was born Lillian Lotte Pepperall, daughter of James Pepperall and Bessie Burge on 13 August 1896 in England. She died on 17 April 1971. Her cause of death was "coronary thrombosis" and "hypertension" This "hypertension" is something that afflicts our bloodline. I am on two blood pressure medications and a very strong anti-cholesterol medication. I imagine Grandma Lil might have lived longer had she modern medications. However, she handled the dearth of Pop (her husband, my paternal grandfather) very badly and I can't she the Lady as having wanted to live much longer...
After writhing this, I had a strange mental image: I remembered the family getting together in my paternal grandparent's living room, with Grandma Lil sitting by the wall on the other side of the stairs. She said "
no, that's not true..."
It was a strange and mystic moment, especially since I'm not much for "
speaking with the dead".
