Day 3 of construction, and things seem to be progressing without any serious issues (from the neighbors or otherwise). Lee and I are trying to stay away from the site so our contractor, Clive, doesn't start to think we're pesky. We'll probably drop by tomorrow with a few beers to say hello and see how things are going (ie butter them up a little).

We've spent the past two days putting together our giant To-Do list of everything we need to accomplish in order to open. So far we've covered outfitting, management, marketing and finances and we're already up to 162 projects. Technically, we could be opening in only 14 short weeks, so it's a little daunting.

In the meantime, Lee and I are going to a casting tomorrow to be in a national print ad for a Spanish bank tomorrow. We saw it advertised and figured it could be kind of fun. I always wonder who the Joe Schmoes pondering their mortgage options in the La Caixa ads are. They're looking for average looking 20-30 year olds, so we probably won't make the cut due to our definitively above-average looks. It should be funny though.
