I'm worried but hopeful people won't quit before our transition. My goal in our divorce was to ensure that we could not be further embaressed/humiliated after we split. After all, with the 128m we have invested, paying another 2m and having you work against our interest would be, at best, embarrassing and I cannot let happen. You have asked for a total and clean release which means we have to be super careful that we have covered all our bases. The language in the agreement, which I re-read last night, does not work for me in several areas. No panic on your part but it needs some small nuanced changes. I am just overwhelmed w meeting after meeting and working til midnight every day. So its got to get done right. I will stay tonight and meet w Ellis and conclude my comments. Howie is simply too good and I feel we were frankly mismatched. One quick question for you is liquor licenses. I presume they are mostly in your name. Will we be able to keep these licenses in every BRG outlet? I see u are walking from every document.
