Greetings from sunny California

[Zengus]

Man, that was one of the roughest moves I've gone through in a while. Thank god it's over

On the bright side, it sure is nice out here.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FOOD STORE?

[HisDivineShadow]

oh hey where you located zeng?

[Zengus]

Life kinda took us in a different direction, Inferno. My dad got offered a SWEET job out in Missouri, getting paid a whole lot more to do exactly what he was already doing, so he and I decided to take a few years on things. That way instead of retiring now he can continue to build money for the project (it'll be nice to start things with like 300-400k instead of 100), and I can build some contacts out here, get a feel for how the industry works on the West coast, and build some more experience in areas I don't have as much as I would like (I am a fucking good line cook and pretty boss at all things savory, but it could be nice to get more solid work experience doing pastry). Basically, we decided that maybe we were rushing in to the idea a liiiittle bit, and it won't hurt to slow things down and start more solidly.

I am in Orange County HDS, closer to the LA side of it than the San Diego side.

Sorry to hear it was an unpleasant move, Zengus (beyond what moving from one end of a very large country to the other would normally be, presumably). But it sound like you're content with how things are panning out longer term, which is no bad thing. :)

[Zengus]

Arr. I think the next few years are going to be a lot better than the last few. Thanks for the kind words, Sam :)

I'm still here. I haven't gone anywhere really, and yet I've had my own crazy adventures.

We should hang out some time.

so you're planning on opening a restaurant? I'm a touch out of the loop, but if that's the case I have a road trip to plan for.
