How's it going Adam? Tommy Meeks here. We met when you worked for Stockton Graham and you invited me to the coffee class. Thought I'd tell you I recently was approached to take over Espresso Brazil in Pittsboro, but before it could be finalized the owners informed me they were shutting it down "due to the economy".... to be honest it was due to mismanagement. My wife and I are so stoked over that endeavor that never happened and what we've both learned over the past months has led us to possibly to open our own coffee business. Would be a drive thru kiosk in the parking lot of our local Lowe's home improvement center. How are things going for you and the family? Later!
