I felt for sure last night

That once we said goodbye

No one else will know these lonely dreams

No one else will know that part of me

Hi.  I miss you.  I still miss you in the morning when I don’t write to you.  I’m sorry that I haven’t written the past nine days, I’ve been trying to figure myself out.  I haven’t figured anything out, still just as confused, still just as scared, still feeing so alone.  But that’s life on earth.

We are not opening up to dine in today.  We are going to stay take out only for at least a week, most likely until the 22nd of June.  There are too many unknowns still.  Too much fear of doing it wrong.  How much product do we need everyday, how much staff, will anyone come in?  What hours should we be open?  So much unknown queen Elsa.

Some of my friends are opening back up today.  I stand firmly behind them.  Some of my friends are staying closed today.  I stand firmly behind them as well.  We all have to make the best decision for us, for our team, for our guests.  No one is right, no one is wrong.  We are all simply figuring it out for ourselves one moment at a time.  Please don’t judge, we don’t know everything.  Please don’t go online and complain publicly about what you didn’t like.  Send us an email, call us privately, make kind suggestions not virtual sludge.  It’s hard to describe the panic of having been shut down for 3 months.  Even harder to describe the fear of having to start your dream over again.

Please walk with us as we try to figure out this new life.  Take my hand, hold it tight, and know that I’m trying.  I don’t always know what to say, I sure don’t know what to do, but I’m trying.  I’m trying to be here for you.  Please don’t forget about who you are to me and this world.

Today’s quote comes from my friend Jim.  

Stay with me, you're the one I need

You make the hardest things seem easy

Keep my heart somewhere drugs don't go

Where the sun shines slow, always keep me close
