Sandwich-Making Improvements: Assembling

On Saturday morning Daniel and I got there a few minutes early and laid out the ingredients and supplies on two tables.

Valerie, David, and Cathy arrived and started cranking out the sandwiches; each bag would get one ham-and-cheese and one PB&J.

My job was final assembly, i.e., putting napkins, trail mix, fruit, and the sandwiches in a brown bag.

Working as fast as I could, I nevertheless fell behind. Two years ago the final assembler twiddled his thumbs waiting for the sandwiches to be prepared and bagged.

Ninety minutes later we were completely done--the sandwiches put away, the tables wiped clean, and the supplies put back in the closet.

On Sunday we will take the lunches to the Redwood City community center at noon, after which we will catch the championship games that will determine the teams who will go to the Super Bowl. Sundays don't get much better than that.
