Feeling restless and the anxiety over the small cut on my foot which I covered with adhesive tape. Everything works out fine. I call it the "ham" for that initial first day of our stay in the tavern. Sounds like amateurish ha. All's forgotten after that.
The following 5 consecutive working days are hectic. The schedule of renovation being made. Only the expert in carpentry are hired. We'll be following the General Mills point of view with regards to management.
Mateelda asked me if she could be in charged with the wall decor because she doesn't like the kryptic decorations on the wall left by Olga. It's too tacky she said. I could only laughed. We both laughed actually. Good that I have a bottled water on my table.
Okay here is what Mateelda wants to do. She wanted to change the format of the wall by having her own style-design on the wall. On her hand is the measuring stick trying to measure the width and length of the wall that divides the bar from the dining suites. I let her choose what she wants even if I rather want to be in charged of the whole wall decor supplying the paint, pictured frames and everything that needs to attract attention.
The flooring is in smooth velveteen textured green color carpet. She contradicted me with it because she feels like being in a golf course.
"Duh! That's what I have in mind Mateelda. A golf course link." I told that to her before. She ignored me and keeps on being busy measuring the wall.
Mateelda would like to bring in a safari style "wild life features" on the tavern-restaurant. So it's a scenery of wild animals in a wild habitat." Open air is unnerving," she said
"Hmm...weird ha. I can imagine it as a wild zoo in a tavern!" I just couldn't be contend with her idea. But I'm listening. I'm open for suggestion. Do you think it will bring in customers? Or it will just scare them away? Or maybe, maybe the symbols and images will have them have brawls every day and every night. That's scary.
What is a tavern anyway? Tavern is a pub. It is particular kind of INN. Are you in or are you out? A tavern is an establishment where alcoholic beverages are sold and to be drunk on the premises only. It is a cafe in Greece.
Tavern is different from tabernacle. tabernacle is archaic in nature. It is a dwelling place. A tent used by the Bible character Abraham and his family in Exodus. It is the receptacle for the consecrated elements of the Eucharist. It could also mean ornamental locked.
So there you go. The name of our tavern." Mateelda do you have any suggestion whether you would like to change the name of our business?" I have few suggestions I told her.
Great I have Mateelda's attention. She stopped what she is doing and looked at me. I have something in my mind. If you're willing to listen.
Vivianne: Okay call. Let me hear your voice.
Mateelda: How about ------Water Coolers ?
Vivianne: Hmm...any other ?
Mateelda: Cup and Saucer ?
Vivianne: Sounds good but give me some more names. Whatever in your mind. Something catchy, you know.
Mateelda: Uhm, what about Flying Trapeze ?
Vivianne: Are you okay? Mateelda we are not in a circus. However, I really do like everything you suggested. Somehow I was beginning to ask myself if Mateelda is being humorous or what. Or is she becoming a comedian and we'll just have the tavern-restaurant as front for Stand Up comedy stage for comedians. Somehow it works both ways. What do you think?
I have suggestions too.Maybe weird (er) than Mateelda. In my list are: Jump Street.....I mean Jump Start, La Cabana, Golf Oasis, Red Robbins, Lock Out or Lock In, FX, fFrisky, Touchstone or Eureka. What do you think Mateelda?
Mateelda's smile is evident. She did not laugh. "Whatever," she quipped.
Yeah "Whatever" is fine. Or "Clueless?"
