Lunch with a friend.
Well, I was in Gary's back yard at the acadamy and we got together for lunch at a Chineese resturant. After the meal I brough up the subject of opening a BBQ joint when I get closer to retirement and asked if he would be interested in the venture. He told me to ask him again in 10 years. I said, "Lets open the fortune cookies and let them decide."
Mine read:
You will take a chance in something in the near future
Sounds like there will be a Q joint in our future.

Ahhh if life was only so simple as basing it on fortune cookie promises...
I had one last year that said I will soon be independantly wealthy....
I'm still waiting...... unless "soon" is a different time span in China...then I'm still in good shape!

Be sure that you can get a liquor license--you ain't gonna make any money on BBQ.

I see you've eaten their BBQ before.
