No update yet on the Starbucks location, but I'll let you know as soon as it's a definite.

In recent reflections, I summed up the last year and a half on my life:

Lost RockWater to the City (they bought the building and turned it into a parking ramp),
lost our apartment (reason same as above),
new house,
new child (Stewart McDougal),
child gets sick,
I got laid off from CellularOne,
child gets better,
snag a contract in England,
child gets sick,
contract falls through,
child gets better,
can't find work at home,
opportunity to open new business,
timeline runs out,
tries new approach to business,
can't secure financing,
business idea goes in limbo,
leaves for California to find work,
nothing turns out,
cell phones turned off,
leaves for Alabama for potential job opportunity,
long distance shut off,
things look good,
house goes on the market,
cable and Internet turned off,
child gets sick,
company runs out of money,
come home,
child gets better,
house and car insurance dropped,
I ID a suspect in local arsons case,
buyer found for house,
electricity & gas threatened to cease,
manages to get help from Catholic Charities, Salvation Army & Energy Assistance,
wakes up to bomb squad removing a pipe bomb near my front yard,
gets a job a Starbucks,
interviews for store manager in Appleton,
gets job in Appleton,
interviews for store in Sun Valley, Idaho,
backs out of Appleton store,
moves out of house on Lamont Street,
waiting for official word of acceptance for Starbucks position in Idaho,
living with brother.

My life is amazing.
