Newsflash -- My Grandmother is Old

After consulting with my cousins last night, the almost consensus is that my grandmother on my dad's side is about 106 years old! It can't be verified because people her age in Kenya don't have birth certificates, so you have to reverse engineer age based on the age of her children and events that she remembers. Her memory is very sharp and she's mobile. So much for Atkins and health clubs and blah, blah, blah. I think I might try out the Rural Kenya Plan for a few weeks to see if I can pick up some tips.

I'm planning on debriefing her in the coming weeks. I mean, what was it like during the first couple of decades of the 20th century in rural Kenya? I certainly don't know the answer to that question, but I'm apparently closely related to someone who does. More on this later.
