The Naked Restaurant with Many Lists

Here's a wee update on the restaurant with shoddy cell phone camera photos. The heat being blown into the restaurant is helping get everything dry... and keeping the restaurant warm because it would freeze to death otherwise: it's been stripping itself down faster than a 17 year old girl playing strip poker!

The Naked Walkway. The walls are getting their hair, okay, paint, done currently with massive blow dryer heat and fans to get that oh-so-wind-blown-look:

The Naked Bar. I think it's really sad without it's Grey Goose... but even more sad without the Knob Creek! The bar floor area has been drying really nicely. We finished getting everything out of the bar today... getting closer to having the surface and countertops repaired! The Earth mural has dried well! Including the Little Owners around the globe! We were all really worried about this and are happy that it has turned out so well.

Bar patrons may be familiar with a naked friend of ours at the bar: Hector! He survived the flood and is helping us out in the office:

The Naked Office. We've been working in our makeshift office, making lists, checking them twice and in some cases re-checking them twice and re-writing them 10 times per day. This (right) is my desk area at the moment which looks strikingly similar to my desk typically, although I generally keep the giant pile on my left! This giant pile is my current to-do list... well, actually it's a bunch of to-do lists that need to be combined...As you can see, we've all made ourselves at home... well... relatively speaking anyway! Ah and yes, there are phones again so we're taking calls from the outside world. Note below, the actual office is naked... All the way at the end by the window is where I normally sit. It feels huge in there right now compared to how it usually is!

I have more photos but the truth is, they didn't come out well enough to show anything. In terms of when you'll be able to get your rigatoni ala vodka fix taken care of, or join us for The Lost Hours (happy hour), our estimate was 4-6 weeks on Monday.

The time change thing is working out well for me- to some degree. I get this surge of energy at 9 pm which is funny considering I am up quite early. I've also done more work than anyone has ever done at any gym in a month in the last few days! This is partially because I think gyms are dirty and partially because well... treadmills? Really?! Running in place is so unsatisfying! Although it's not quite as strange as those things people sit on and pedal while reading magazines: that is not exercise! In any event, by the end of this I'm up for arm wrestling challenges for money again... any takers?!

Until the next time I ramble...
