nice. you didn’t just talk the talk, you walked the walk!!!
It was more like I staggered the walk.
I had to get out of the bar business, while it was very profitable, I needed to remember my name [among other minor details}.
I liked the product too much, and had another business to run, so I had to make a choice.
The booze business got sold, no regrets, made money, had fun, lived to tell {and embellish} the tale and the blurry memories.
