2 Days

2 more work days until I say goodbye to the Hilton Toledo and 31 Hundred Restaurant & Bar. I wish I could say it is bittersweet, but I honestly don't have much reservation about leaving. Not too many sad goodbyes and all that jazz. I made my share of friends, but always knew this was not a long term gig, so I stayed comfortably distant.
As I prepare to leave I feel the most sad about leaving the bar. I know, I know, this is the sadness all Ritchies feel. I remember when we were in the heart of the construction phase. I would go into the big empty, dusty room and try to imagine the sounds of people laughing, eating, and enjoying themselves. Now, as I stand in the room filled with people and watch bartenders getting drinks, servers running food, and customers smiling I know it was worth it.
Last night I had my first meeting with my management team for XXXXX. The building is a big empty, dusty room.
Cheers to doing it all over again...
