Twists and Turns

Never underestimate the power of.... guilt.
Jean's moving dilemma may be solved. Barry paid her a visit yesterday and made her the following offer:
A. If she wants to stay here, he will finance the new restaurant with no strings attached.
B. If she wants to go back to Atlanta, he will finance the move.
He said that he, "has sinned against her and God for not being a better husband".
She said that she was, "torn between wanting to take him in her arms or knocking him out".
Ya gotta like that.
This time, her mind is really made up. She's going back to Atlanta. She said Barry is free to pay for it and stay here or pay for it and go with her but she's going and he's paying regardless.
She said that Barry is even going to drive her to Seattle to catch her plane to Atlanta next Tuesday. That will save her $66 in shuttle fees. She'll be there 5 days visiting her family, trying to sign a contract on a bakery, and arranging to rent a house.
Good luck, Jean.
When we went in to open the cafe this morning, we discovered that the refrigeration unit on the prep counter quit working. She's got no money or motivation to fix it, so it will stay inoperative for the rest of the month. That will add a twist when wifey and I work to keep the place running next week while Jean is gone. We're just going to limit the menu to what we're comfortable making with the supplies available. If that means we're down to plain burgers and fries by the end of the week, so be it.
Next week's entries should prove to be interesting. I hope they're nothing more than that.
Can you be arrested for food poisoning?
