Limping Toward the Finish Line

I thought I should post a note and let you all know we are moving forward at break-neck speed. If I don’t write tonight, chances are there won’t be another post until after we open. What an eventful day we had this Monday, April 4. Malcolm got the POS server and terminals in place and talking to each other (although we do have a minor problem with them seeing the Internet connection). Our coffee machine has been installed and Tyler christened it with a spray of milk on the floor and ceiling. The invites for the preview parties (Fri and Sat) have been perfected by Conor (see image). First food deliveries and smallwares have been ordered and checked in by Mike. Employees are hired and orientation is on Wed from 10-12.

Probably the biggest event has been JB’s obligatory injury. It happens every time. He was trying to rearrange the new Alto-Sham and dropped the corner on his left big toe. There are three big, strapping young men here who could have done the job, but nooooo. As we attempted to walk home tonight we got as far as Provedor (next door) before asking Mikey to drive us home. Of course we won’t be going to the ER, but will opt for self-medication.

And a very public and heart-felt congratulations to our nephew Kyle who is graduating from UNLV. Way to go Biff!
