out of the closet.....

ok, so mm is coming out of the closet, but this has more to do about life than about preference.......i have agreed to sell my part of the restaurant to my partner.........and i will do something else with the rest of my life.........as i just told my mother on the phone.....i didn't want her to hear it at choir practice.....i wanted her to hear it from me.......for the record....this work is too tiring for someone of my age......not that 48 is old.....but it is old for someone who could take her partner's offer and move on.......he has 3 potential backers......all of whom could fiscally fund the restaurant as it should have been funded from the start...we started with $2000 in the bank.....and have come along way since then.....but....i am physically ready to do something else with my time.......especially since so many people i know have died young of late.......and with my dad's early senility to keep in mind.....i have no tintention of becoming senile whilst making tomato celery soup.........so.....for those reader's who live close.....i would appreciate a last glass of wine with you at trc before i say adieu.................
