Well the time has come in our lives to make some changes. The lovely Mrs_Bob and I are unsure what we will be doing, but my 5 year lease is coming to an end for the cigar lounge location and I'm not going to sign a new lease.
That means the cigar lounge is going to change owners, or have a going out of business sale.
We shall see. My wife is sort of freaking out about it, she knows I have fun there and I really do. But she has no idea how much money I lose there and if she did she'd probably be a bit upset. Its run as a hobby, not as a business. We go on trips, go shooting, smoke and drink, have parties, etc. Often with the door locked and the signs turned off! Lots of fun, not so much profit.
Its been a great run, and I'd do it again. Maybe I will, if we relocate our lives to a new state. But its more likely we will either travel more, or split our residence into 2 locations. Either way it doesn't make sense to run a small business if I am going to be an absentee owner and not get the benefit of having fun.
So sometime this summer or fall we will make up our minds on what we intend. But this spring will bring a close to fun chapter of my life.
