You forgot "Moriarty!" Xmas is for kids, and with none and not being married at the moment, it's kind of meaningless. Parties are fun etc but at the end of the day... Good thing I'm an uncle 15 times over. One great niece. Most live thousands of miles away though. Volunteer for children's and men's shelters though. I supply and cook a mean Xmas pig out...turkey, ham, lamb, tourtierre, all the fixin's. Used to do it at the tavern for all the older timer's in my bar's neighborhood AND another one for my friends with no family plansat my place. Loads of work but tons of enjoyment. Good for you Ron, Sheahed of Good Hope must luv ya! Gosh, I got to meet ya at ur bar over the holiday, just recovery from back surgery. Dam, lot of hot nures at the Civic! Going there Monday for back check-up I'm in the process of either selling my third of the business or buying out my other two partners. I'm completely Pee'd off with their completely facked sense of business acumen. One guy has become an egotistic, paranoid coke addict who does not believe liquor sales are the priority in a bar business...his taste in music is!(?WTF???) The other,while educated up the hilt as a high level money manager does not understand that you can only count beans if they enter the premises and go in the til. Can ya tell heisanupperlevel civilservant? The fact that he is also a fence sitter has left the addict and I at an impasse and me having had to spend months abroad for family duties and a few months off for health reasons the last few years, the addict has gradually changed the place around his warped view of things and our sales have dropped by 25-30%. And they still don't get it...either they are stupid or proud. Same result. Anyway,the place is no longer reflective of my views and I want out or control. It even really looks like a dump now. Good thing students are a big part of our nighttime..they don't really give a crap outside of not getting ripped off. It mightevenbe toolate to turn around given the damage done and how it usually takes twice as long to fix as to break. Might take a job in Port Moresby of all places after I sell my interest. $75,000 AUS/year running a hotel (food and beverage). Hell, I'm single, have relatives in Brisbane. I'm leaning towards this.
