Dorothy: Morning, Ma. Working on the crossword puzzle?
Sophia: Nope. Just lining up a few dates. Let's see. Maria Malanero, 85, died of natural causes, survived by her husband Tony Malanero.
Dorothy: You're getting dates out of the obituaries? That's sick.
Sophia: It is not sick. It's practical. Life is for the living. Maria's loss is my date for the Early Bird Special at the Howard Johnson.
