Just what the world needed…

More unsolicited commentary!
Should you care, here’s a brief summation of who I am (or, as much as I want you to know at this point). I am thirty-six, a husband, a father, a restuaranteur, and somebody who THINKS about writing fiction a lot.
Getting back to the restauranteur part, I don’t want to be that anymore. My place is for sale! http://kurtkrug.com/address.php?property_ID=30
I am now reading The World According to Garp for the first time and see some similarities between Garp and me. He’s a bit intense and humorless for my taste, but I find parallels in our lives. My wife works at home, but stays in her office as much as she can. She also has occasion to travel for work. So, before my restaurant opens at 4 o’clock, I take care of the boy. It is an unalloyed delight. I resent the time with him that the restaurant robs me of.
I have to travel to nearby Bardstown to approve the proof of my new menu. We’re scaling back a bit to the more profitable elements of the menu, adding an item or so, and increasing some prices. Also, NO MORE FREE FRIES! You want fries instead of chips? Give me a dollar! The gravy train is out of steam.
More later, including a bit on the name of this blog.
