The Freedom Smoothie Stand had a short and happy life.  To be honest, I am not entirely sure what happened to it.  For the last 6 weeks I had been developing a smoothie to sell to at English Corner.  My kitchen is full of random fruit juices and bananas.  As you can see, it was relatively a hit.  But when time came to open my stand this week, I just did not want to.  I didn't want to carry 100 pounds of beverages up the hill.  Nor did I want so many people paying attention to me.  Mostly, I just felt tired.  And that my future does not lie in the beverage industry.  Though now I also feel some regret.

It's strange, really.  Sometimes I think I like the idea of doing something more than actually doing it.  But I have never been interested in business.  So to suddenly become a tycoon would be odd.

I thought this was the English Corner--either I can't understand much of their English or it is full of Chinese words. Your smoothies look delicious. I know a place in the Twin Cities where we would be glad to drink them!

Then a little piece of me died too. I was minutes from investing heavily in this enterprise. Dreams shattered. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair. Alas, I can hold out until your next endeavor - dog training perhaps?
