The Trip from Hell

Well it's been a hell of a trip to New Jersey. First the 10 1/2 hour trip down that should have taken 8 hours. The confirmation went off with out too many problems, except for the wild kiddies. The next day we get a call from my sister-in-law saying that my brother has had a heart attack. Off to the hospital we go. While we were in the waiting room my brother, who is recovering very nicely, asked that we call my father, who is in Fla., and tell him about his heart attack. My wife calls him from the waiting room in the hospital. The first thing my father says is that he is shaking and that she should call the EMT's,it was later discovered he had a infection from a cut he had gotten two weeks before. OK we are batting 2 for 2. The next day we pick up some sub sandwiches to bring to the hospital for my sister-in-law and my nieces . My first bite into the sub I break off a front tooth. Now we got it going, what else could happen on this visit.

My brother is recovering nicely, my father is getting better and I got my tooth fixed. And I just found out I won the NJ lotery for 7 bucks. Things are looking up.

It's always darkest before the dawn, Uncle Willie. I bet if you found some time to swing by Hoboken before going back to Maine, your spirits would improve considerably. What I mean is, the subs here won't break your teeth. Ha ha ha.
