hang on to your hats

It is a wonderful thing to see some ideas come together. In the past week the store has gone from seeming like a construction site to taking shape as a bike shop. I have had a lot of fun meeting the people that are helping me along the process. Yesterday I got a call from some mumbling man with a heavy east-european accent telling me that he has a delivery for me. I met the man this morning and I was so pleased that the truck driver was the actual strong man from the circus. The guy you imediately thought of is a large european man with a shaved head. a neck about the same circumference as his head. Narrow eyes and heavy brow. Huge shoulders are with plenty of hair and a t-shirt that has its sleeves cut off. I was relieved that he wasn't wearing that leotard of leopard print with only one strap over the shoulder. Ok so he doesn't work for the circus now and he has let himself go a bit. Maybe a bit too much vodka and borscht. I am sue that when he did work for the circus he was much more trim.
Well that guy brought me retail fixtures from Chicago. I think that his name was Marcus.
