Lots going on here at Casa Sandwich, sorry to be scarce.
My uncle (OK, his remains) arrived via the United States Postal Service, and, I’ve been working for a couple of days to find a priest to preside at the interment.
My uncle wasn’t Catholic, but, my dad and I are, and, it seems to be […]
There’s no doubt about it.

Good. You may stay here, now.
Anyway, my dad and I are back home after a whirlwind trip to Michigan this weekend due to […]
My uncle passed away peacefully early yesterday morning, thank you for your kind words. We arrived safely, and, were able to spend the evening with him at the hospital.

My uncle isn’t expected to live much longer, so, I will be going there with my father in the morning.
We have a fun filled adventure of flights, car rentals, and, driving ahead of us, not to mention waiting at the hospital, I’ll keep you posted.
