No, no, she didn't die. My past-tensing of the verb "to live" (sorry about the verbing of the noun "tense") is a clever trick. But today is a big day in British History.
You see, today is the very first day that Queen Elizabeth of England becomes the oldest person to ever sit on the throne of England. Today, the Queen is 81 yars and 244 days old, one day more than Queen Victoria on her last day on the big ugly chair. She is expected to live many more years.

We're keeping her going as long as we can. Charles is bonkers. Her mother (gawdblesser) kept going to 101, or maybe 102 mostly due to heroic consumption of gin. With tonic, obviously. Drinking it neat would be vulgar.

Shalom
