You wanna hear something ironic? Grandpa, who has been in a nursing home for the past 20+ years, outlived my grandma (his wife), who passed away New Years Eve, 2002. Grandpa is a WWII vet, and still kickin', well not kicking exactly (he had a paralizing stroke in '82), but hangin in there at least. She has always been healthy as an ox. He has been in extremely poor health most of his life, and we never dreamed he would live longer than Grandma.

i'm still awake...

Still awake, but think I can go back to sleep now. I have been up since 2:30. 'Tis a good thing I don't ~have~ to be up and about this morning.
