I will go out later to buy cigars. No, not for me. It’s for my dad’s uncle who will come visit tomorrow. He is fond of cigars. Since we haven’t seen him for over a year (he lives abroad), my dad thought it would be better to roll out the red carpet. He is his favorite uncle, anyway.

My dad’s already preparing some dishes. He might arrive tonight and he will stay for a week. Or he might arrive tomorrow and opt to stay at a nearby hotel. Whichever, my dad’s the excited mother hen at home tidying things up. I am sure that the house will be filled with stories about boxing, politics, and some other guy stuff.
