I shall be taking my maternal grandfather out for a meal, as he usually visits my folks to be fed on a Friday and they're in Thailand for a month. He rocks, he's 93 and still has all his mental faculties, though he's gone a bit deaf and steadfastly holds on to that charming tradition of calling black people 'Darkies' (because "that's what we always used to call them").
