Re:

There is little I won't do for you. You need to relax. Every day you violently complain, get angry, agitated, annoyed. It is NOT HEALTHY. You married the guy (against my advice). You didn't want him profiting off the restaurant's success without participating. You wanted to be 50/50. You told him you wouldn't do the deal unless you were. You pressed the pedal on the position, and the market went against you. You are short with severe unknown downside risk (PG). He has put his entire net worth on the line. Howie taking 25k is equivalent to stealing, in my view. He was not hired or authorized to work on behalf of the partnership but demanded payment from the partnership. David doesn't know what he is doing, obviously. Alan is not competent to do projections. He can do bookkeeping, not the same thing. You have threatened to quit over and over. You almost got in a fistfight. You have been agitated to the point where your knowledge of the numbers that you present is limited. I am very concerned for your health. This is a biz that has issues. This is not a tragedy or calamity or catastrophe. You are WAYYYYYY overreacting to feeling you are getting fucked, and I would hope that you put your head down, get it open, try to make it a success, and sell it, and move on. When you left Barry, separate from needing to travel, you made it clear that no more of this craziness, but could concentrate on trading. You violated your own rules on getting involved in buying illiquid investments, on putting on personal guarantees. Need to get rid of this mess asap. It will take a few months, cashflow will play out and buyers will bid, someone will make an offer and the decision will be complex. YOU NEED TO RELAX. You tell me you are a construction bitch, a restaurant bitch, David's bitch, this is all overblown by a multiple you need to get some perspective. Howie and Alan stoke the flames in you, and your head will explode and I will have to get your phone.

I appreciate your email but I do not think it's accurate. But we can review this tomorrow.
