Family is gathered around grandpa in this exact situation. He raises his head off the pillow and squints around the room.

That you, Bill?
Yes, dad, it's me.
Is Carol here?
Yes, I'm here dad.
Jimmy? Sally? Are they here too?
Yes dad, the kids are here.
Is Walt here?
Yeah dad, I'm right here.
You're all here?
Yes, we're all here dad.
Everybody's right here?
Yes, dad.

Then why is the goddam kitchen light still on???

I am sliding gracefully into dad mode about thermostats because that is ancient technology and you should know better. Lights are all LEDs now and I even got the ones with batteries so they stay on in a blackout, so leaving them on charges them and is good, sort of.

Grampa still uses incandescents - he saw a meme about how you need a hazmat team if you break one o' them newfangled bulbs and he's not letting Obama jam those things down his throat!!!
