Trouble at the BB Corral...

Ok, so we're waiting for the closing to go through for the new and improved Bimini Bay Restaurant and Lounge. Great name. I continue to get a bad feeling over this sale. No where forward, no where back, seems to be the mantra. There seems to be a problem with the terms of the lease for the new owner. I believe the landlord has cold feet! And rightfully so. The past owner owes him a lot of past due money; the potential new owner has no restaurant experience and is definitely NOT on Island Time. I believe all these things are in consideration by Mr. Owner. And what of us? The loyal employees? The ones who've put up with all the shit to have a job, for the love of the job and, of course, an occasional non bouncing paycheck. And besides, the entertainment is good...The family, the challenges, the owners with their fish for us to cook, the stunning sunsets and the yachts.

I have a distinct feeling that we are descending into a slight issue...I wonder if I could hook up with a awesome line cook job one last time? Damn the torpedos, I'd love to try. One way or the other.

Driving home this evening, it was humid but not unpleasantly warm. A cool sticky breeze through the window of the car and the sun roof. Coming down Manatee Ave seems so much faster or a much better mover route. Once I make that turn onto 301 and the roadway begins to open up into country I love the lush green of everything during this rainy season. I don't want to miss a thing. The cattle in the big and little feed, all bunched around together and enjoying the cool damp earth. The assorted birds on the side of the roadway, and then, the bakery and the blast of fresh baked bread blending with the smells of the green lush roadside...ahhhhhh....and then, today, the light was green at University to go all the way through the graduated roadway curve that I love so much for the engineering correctness and fineness. Good job.

Home again home again Jiggiddy Jig...good evening family!! Tired, shower is good. Tired from work and works issues. Still I plod on not knowing what to do other than to trust God...And cook.
