beer or water?

i had some good ideas for the banner but in the end it was the racist joke the guy told me that had me not buying the airplane ad…. i’m sorry, but if the first time i meet you you tell me a racist joke, chances are pretty good, you won’t be getting my money, even if you have an airplane that can pull a banner.
i don’t know whether to celebrate or panic, business goes from slow as a turtle to fast as a cat from one day to the next. we all get into poke along mode and then wham, we are busy. then back to poke along mode. the truth is that business for us is down about 8% from last year, although it seems that that number is still rising, i’m very pleased with our business and it’s service to the community. i am ready for whatever direction we go, but as we “settle in” to our skin now as an established local place, i think we will learn to roll with the punches and react to the situations that come.
i have an idea for a kid’s book entitled: water milk juice vs. coffee soda beer. when can i find the time to write it though? my current draft is way too simple and short. i find myself telling you about it and then deleting my thoughts.
okay, so i’m not doing the banner, but what i wanted to do was the old plane pulling… “SATCHEL IS MY CO-PILOT” but that one got the ax from mom, plus mr. d renfroe was concerned that tebow could miss the humor and that would be really bad. and there were other good ideas that emerged but it was basically the racist joke that killed the deal.
i compromised after writing the title tonight and had a can of amstel light, left over from some long ago party we had. i figured, amstel light from a can is almost like water, right? i could tell you 3 more good things but i gotta go do something else. remind me to tell you about the gator games on lsetv….. say whaaaaaaaaa?

remind me to tell you about the cada cats too….
