Living well is better than living long. But it can be
argued that cataract surgery will aid in both endeavors.

Indeed. I'm quite happy to have had the cataracts removed... it did
help with quality of life... Dunno that it'll make much difference as to longevity, except for probably helping to prevent accidents that might
have jumped out unseen.... ;)

Considering it's Lilli, that might be relevant.

Hard to miss for anyone who wasn't living under
a rock at the time (though, frankly, there have
been several periods in my life when I'd have been
happier living under a rock).

I hear you... and can think of a few in mine as well, likewise... ;)

Sigh, yeah.

Other than being named for him, was it other than just a regular peach
ice cream....?

Pretty much, but as with many of the Berkey
Creamery products, it was somewhat richer than
most commercial ice cream.

Ah.. So somewhat like Ben and Jerry's, or Wegmans' premium ice
creams... richer, and with catchy names... ;)

There are a bunch of catchy names, 'tis true.
There's even been some controversy. You could
look it up.

We've arrived at a compromise weaning schedule.

Which you are ok with...? Hopefully it is a fairly quick taper...

If I hadn't been I wouldn't have. It's a severe but
not so quick taper.
