Crazy that my granddad out lived my grandmom by 10 years.

Thing was, by the time he retired he became a grandparent and changed his life. He quit drinking (drink of choice: Crown Royal, and did it cold turkey) and spent his habit of getting up ridiculously early (was a USPS city carrier in Chicago) walking his neighborhood picking up trash, taking said trash to recycling and picking up his Sun-Times with a black coffee from Dunkin’.

My grandmom wasn’t as busy once her kids left.

The AT&T that exists today is not the same American Telephone & Telegraph of the past. The original company was broken up in the 80’s creating “Baby Bells” that over time grew and reformed to the point that the current AT&T is just Southwestern Bell (or SBC) with a whole bunch of regional Bell companies under its control.
