After waking up, my grandpa gets ready for the day with a healthy breakfast of mini donuts and Jimmy Dean sausages. Following breakfast, he goes out to play golf in the neighborhood with his friends. While golfing, he drinks a few beers and talks to his friends about Orlando Magic basketball, hoping that one day he’ll watch them win something. All of his buddies are Knicks or Lakers fans, so he’s really missing out on the fun. After that, he comes in to work on foreign affairs pieces for the newspaper for an hour or two, then takes a mid-day nap. Once his nap is over, he watches TV with my grandma and works on the newspaper until dinner.

At dinner, he’ll read the Buffalo newspaper with my grandma, gossiping about events that are happening a thousand miles away. After dinner, he watches comedy shows on the TV for a few minutes, then heads to bed, getting his nightly 12 hours of sleep.
