Commercial Kitchens and Lots of Food and Conversation

I'm out of the habit of daily blogging. Computer viruses, long workdays, and tight schedules took me away from my blog, but I'll get back into it.

This morning, I woke up about 7:00 am, despite staying up late (though admittedly falling asleep in front of the television for awhile) after having a great meal with my brother. We had bacon-wrapped filet mignon, along with grilled pork & venison sausage and baked potatoes, grilled jalapeños, and such...after starting with a nice guacamole with extra lime juice and some diced jalapeños for extra zip. I ate far too much, but it was very good stuff and I promised myself I would fast soon...I just need to schedule it. We each had drinks, as well, and I had too much...I felt it this morning and still feel it.

We had a great time just shooting the breeze, talking about how and whether to develop the few acres where he lives, and related "stuff" that's easy and fun to talk and dream and plan about. We spoke with one of my sisters by telephone, too, and agreed we would all think about ways to generate money for a family compound...somewhere.

I had to leave early this morning to get back to Dallas in time to visit with a guy with whom I've had several conversations about a business he operates as a sideline...providing commercial kitchen space on an hourly basis. I have no experience with such things, but it intrigues me. I think it has enormous potential, perhaps as a franchise...so I wanted to meet him and talk about it. I have a trip scheduled to Austin, where he lives and operates his business, in juste over a week, so we agreed I would give him a call while I am there and visit the commercial kitchen operation. I'm not sure why I think I have time for such things...I have far too many irons in the fire at the moment; but I will find the time. It's an interesting concept and may have potential for me, though I do not yet know how.

Tomorrow will be a very, very, very busy day for me. I expect to have to work late after starting very early. That's par for the course after being away from my office for several days, particularly when some of those days were sans computer and Internet connectivity.

Back to the grind.
