Many happy returns

A sincere thank you for all the well wishes regarding my 60th. I got the bulk of my present yesterday with the House of Representatives :) Had an excellent Fillet at a local steak house and am stuffed, mellow and happy. Got a glass of decent Merlot by my side. Surf for a bit, DaveCave(tm) and then sleep in tomorrow -- I am not a morning person and having to be at the bakery at 7AM each morning wears a bit. I spent today going through all of the mail waiting in the Bakery's post office. I had known that they were carrying some debt but I found out today just how large their debt load is -- wowza!!! A collection letter, both sales tax and L&I, Comcast seriously overdue, about $2K to their coffee vendor and more. No wonder they left town. I spent today calling everyone letting them know that I was planning to pay everyone off and everybody seemed to be reassured and there was no problem with partial payments that would start on or around January. Like I said before, if I am not turning a tidy profit by then, I need to hang up my managers hat. All in all, a good day -- it is a fun time to be alive.
