My mother-in-law is the devout child of Portuguese fishermen who settled in Massachusetts. Devout: mass and prayers every day, weekly visits to the graves of her mother and father with flowers and prayers. So it was something of a surprise when, at 82, she announced one night at dinner that she was outraged that her husband's health plan had denied his Viagra prescription. I didn't know how to react. Secretly, I thought, Well good for the two of your.
A few years latter the subject of the Viagra came up again without grandma present and I allowed out loud that I was amazed by that revelation. My wife laughed. Sorry, Jim, my dad had very poor circulation in his feet and especially his toes. Viagra is good for helping with that, too.
