My Life - Blessed Beyond Accounting

They say (whomever "they" are) that nothing in life is ever free. That's not quite true it seems.

 

 A friend of mine, whom I've known for a year or two owns several businesses. He's the kind of guy who owns a lot, makes a lot of cash and loves to spend it and do things with it. He's the kind of guy you'd like no matter how much he had or didn't have.

 

 I had asked him if he'd invest in a nightclub I wanted to open. he said he would and together with another investor we started to make it happen. I foolishly let the deal go however, by waiting too long for the right place to be vacant. Someone else got in before me; Too bad, so sad, we'll try again later - maybe. 

 

 We were discussing his many bars one day when, in frustration over one of them that isn't making enough money, he asked me if I still wanted to open a bar.

 I said: "of course I would mate"

 and he said: "well would you like this one?"

I assumed he was kidding and said that yes, I'd love it. He agreed and told me to get the paperwork, he'd give it to me.

 

 I've asked three time since then if he's serious, I've given him every opportunity to back out of the deal and I've even offered money. He's still adamant that he wants to get rid of it and that I can have it for nothing except what I spend starting up.

 

It seems he's just fed up with a bar that doesn't make enough money to warrant his working so hard on it. So it seems I now own a bar, the contract gets signed next week and I guess I won't have time to scratch myself after that. I keep telling people I won it in a poker game because no one believes the truth.

 

So yes, sometimes (by the grace of the almighty) great opportunities do land in your lap. I just need a good name for it . . .any ideas?
