The Cost of Time

It has not been easy to keep you up to date in the world of Cafe Evoke the past several days. As many of you probably know, I am working for Zearth.com Corporation, an online dealer of home and personal comfort items. We are experiencing our best year since the birth of the company six or so years ago and things have been crazy. Not only have I been working hard to find a home for Cafe Evoke and assuring our vendors that we have not forgotten about them, I have been putting in 50 hour weeks and have not had a day off in 14 days. All of this will pay off, however, as I am gaining valuable knowledge about how run a company and manage employees. I am working hard to put my wife and I in good shape for the Christmas Season and will take a few days off to travel to Oklahoma after Christmas to spend some time with my family. It has been a great end of the year for us and we are excited to enter 2006 with renewed spirit and a drive to open our doors. We have heard back from all of the building owners in the Areas we have our eyes on and I really think we will work something out and find a home for Evoke. Although we have been set back, these are exciting times. I feel that the set-backs have done nothing but make us stronger and I feel now, more than ever, that we have a great model, a firm ethical foundation, and an extended "board of advisors" to help us along the way. I will have information about one of the more exciting buildings on Tuesday and I hope I have good things to write about. Things might be a bit slow at A Thought Over Coffee for a week or so more but then it will be back to normal. Take this time to catch up, if you are new, and we will push on in a week or so. ~~be bold
