Sounds like a cool 'little old lady.' And I mean that in the kindest of
terms. <clink>

Story about me and 4 little old ladies. Last year our church sponsored
a Christmas dinner for the old folks of the congregation. Since I had a
Suburban I got elected to pick up four of them at the home. We were
heading for the church when I said, "Ya know...I'd almost rather go
have a drink. You ladies want to go hit a bar with me?" They knew I was
kidding, but they giggled and one said she'd like to, but it wouldn't
go well with her medications.

That's when I realized that I had over 300 years of life experience
riding in the car with me. I thought of the collective wisdom they had.
Man...what stories they could probably tell. We "young'uns" need to
remember how valuable our elderly folks are. (Cuz we're gonna be the
old farts one of these days, too.)

To your Grandma one more time. <clink>
