LOL, you guys! You really know how to make somebody feel special. Yep, I'm 58 today. I bought myself a Colt M4 carbine for my birthday.
Actually, I do have some news about the Signs Now thing: I'M OUT!! Yeah, I guess maybe I should have started a thread about that but anyway, we are out of the franchise. The whole franchise experience has been going down hill since Y2K. I thought maybe things would get a lot better with Michael Moynihan (Domino's Pizza founder) buying it but it didn't.
Our son is leaving next month for college in OKC; he was supposed to start this month but they messed around and he didn't get accepted in time. We also have three people interested in buying our business!! Our plan is to buy a 5th wheel and do some traveling before we settle down close to the Rev. Joey Madden in southern Oregon. We are extremely happy about getting out of the franchise and moving out west.
Thanks for the birthday wishes; you guys (and girls) are my bros!!

Happy Birthday Ricky, and Congratulations.... I know a little about Franchises, being a small partner in FastSigns once upon a time, and I bet you are a lot happier.

LOL, I'm replete with new nicknames!! Thanks guys. Susan, some Nanaimo bars would be worth the trip. Looking forward to heading west and meeting some old friends. If we take I-20 I might just go by and harass Chappy a little; been too long since I've been in his shop.

Ricky, you know that you are welcome here any time. Just give me a call before dropping in to be sure that I'm here and not off counting my money somewhere.
