We opened Thursday morning, April 14, 2005. We had some issues with power that prevented opening on Monday or Tuesday, then we opted to do another day of training on Wednesday, so Thursday was the day. We started out slow, then got slammed for lunch and have been going full tilt ever since. All we have done is set out a sandwich board, so all of our business is just locals from the Wharf. That's just fine for now until we get our speed up.
On Wednesday night JB and I went to see the Neville brothers - a concert that we had purchased tickets for over a month ago. We were so tired we almost bagged it, but ended up taking a cab at the last minute - dirty clothes and all. Wow. When Aaron Neville finished with Amazing Grace and a beautiful rendition of Bob Marley, we were both energized.
Malcolm and Mike have been covering the mornings, Tyler and Conor have been covering nights. JB in conquering payroll and the books, I am paying attention to our personal bills for the first time in 2 months, as well as teaching two online classes at COCC. We are getting busier every day, but things are going pretty darned well. All of us have finally gotten a little sleep, and it's starting to have an effect on short-term memory and the bags under the eyes.
We have such a great team. Words just can't do justice to everyone's contribution: Mike, Malcolm, Tyler and Conor. Wow, what a team! JB and I just look at each other and grin.

The place looks terrific as do the operators/owners. Great pictures. All the best. Phil Frazier.
All of you have really done an amazing job. We are so excited Mexicali is open and starting to gain momentum. What an awesome looking place! We enjoy the pictures so much, but wish we were there to take it all in.
Miss you Mikey, good to hear your voice Thursday-your Friday. (I drive everyone here crazy when I tell them which day it is for you.) And that daylight savings thing really threw me for a while but I reset my NZ watch and called some of your friends to tell them so they wouldn't call you at 4AM! No extra charge for the micromanagement services on this end. Ha ha.
Congratulations again to all of you!
Suzanne (and Mom)
