I had a blind great uncle who died last week (I didn’t know him), and every day, since he was a young man, he ate at a restaurant called The Pig Stand. It was one of the few places he could get to by himself – he would walk there using his cane, even across the street. He was famous for going there every morning almost without fail, and chatting with all of the other old guys.

Three days after his death, The Pig Stand went out of business and closed it’s doors for the first time since the 1920’s.

I thought it was a pretty cool coincidence.

Oh, that is a coincidence! Kind of sad, though - end of an era. I'm working on the email to you now, hon, and I'm on chat if you feel like popping on to say hi. :)
