My lunch companions

Had lunch with Margaret Erickson, 98, born in Sweden. She grew up in Cleveland, been to all fifty states. She said you don't have much of an appetite when you near the century mark. Carol Cato is 78, has lost her vision. Carol and I shared memories of favorite eateries around here, and beyond. She even knows Old Heidelberg in Hollywood; wonder if it's still there. Eileen Todaro (aka Mom) is 84. I'm 54. Mrs. Erickson ate well today.

Political rules, meant to be broken. Don't change horses in midstream, unless the horse is lame and you're going down.
