no substitute for clean genes

Today is my mother-in-law's 96th birthday. She can't see or hear very well, and her memory has gotten poor (she called me last week because she couldn't remember what city and state we live in), but is still mobile, involved, and frequently quite funny. Karen is flying down to Pasadena on Saturday and will be there for a few days, helping out with taxes and miscellany.

As readers here will know, my own Mom just turned 93 last week. Her mother made it to her upper 80's. Unfortunately, the men in my family tend to give out a bit earlier. So it goes.
