well, dammit!

But I do know (through the experiences of good friends) that running a restaurant is one of the hardest and most stressful businesses of them all. The fact that you could make it last for over a year is actually quite an accomplishment. And one you can be rightfully proud of.

And although you won't be doing it commercially, any longer (or at least, for the foreseeable future), you can rest assured that good food, good music, and -- most important -- good friends will always be in your life.

Cheers, and bright blessings, Ann
