Thanks EB...33 years old and this is the first time I have ever been fired from a job. It's all good...pick up and move on. The good news is it wasn't anything that I did. It really broke my bosses heart to have to tell me this morning...but the people that are the owners now are all heirs and have ZERO clue about the golf business.

The people on the board have no clue how to run a golf course. They just see me as the highest paid employer and just decide to get rid of me...

You will find a job in no time flat. My guess is that by next month we will see a post from you saying "New Job is AWESOME"

The exact reason above is why professional gambling is the best job of all time, you can't get fired, you can just go broke....

... been there, it happens, has nothing to do with your abilities, etc... all true. got an empty townhouse i'm working on these days. Dog, girl and you always welcome if you decide to travel. No Tampa these days... A couple Calder/Pompano doubleheaders would have to do. You'll land faster and better than you expect.

I think we are really related, dude. That sounds exactly like something I would say. Good luck to ya partner, I have been there too often myself, w/ a lot of my own doing, but I just keep on keepin on and always land on my feet. I have a feeling you'll do the same.
