Hi Michael,

 ML> The main thing is that with a patient of advanced age,
 ML> the consequences (which I know, having been threatened
 ML> therewith) won't usually make much difference.
 RH> I want to keep mine under control for as long as I can. Hopefully
 RH> it'll keep me around longer by doing so.

 ML> Our context was old people; you hardly qualify.

(G) Thanks. At one time I would have considered my current age to be
ancient.


 RH> I saw it not long after that, but in packing to come up to NY, it
 RH> slipped my mind.
 ML> No biggie.
 RH> We'll undoubtedly be making a number of trips both ways over the next
 RH> few months. Maybe we'll meet somewhere along the way one of those
 RH> times.

 ML> That would be fun. You don't make good drinking buddies, though.

If it's good unsweet tea for Steve, diet Coke for me, we can drink quite
a bit. But it has to be in a smoke free place so I can keep breathing.


 RH> Mine is leaning more to a decent bed time or if not, sleeping in later
 RH> the next morning. If I don't sleep well one night, the next night I'm
 RH> out like a light and may wake up only once or twice, briefly.

 ML> I used to be that way; my body would try to rectify any
 ML> shortages within a day or two. No longer - I'm having to
 ML> make do with four or five for many days in a row. Used
 ML> to joke that the only place I could get a good night's
 ML> sleep was on the plane - it's really pretty much true
 ML> these days.

OTOH, I don't sleep well on planes, trains, in cars, etc unless I'm
really tired. Our first family flight to Germany we had to be up at 3:30
am CST, landed in Germany about 6:30 am their time the next morning. I
had a nap that afternoon, slept well that night and had pretty much
adjusted to the time change the next day. But, I was younger, now it
takes longer to recover.

 ML> Pastry Cream
 RH> And if we make it with almond milk, it'll be safe for you.

 ML> I've done it with soy, and it just doesn't taste right.
 ML> Almond is likely to be better.

Steve did it with the home made almond milk in June for the picnic. He
also sweetened it, using Stevia, which made it better for me. BTW, we're
thinking probably a 2016 gathering in NC; this year looks like we will
be having a lot of family issues to work thru.
