No Defeat, No Surrender

<p>I spent the first part of my life in the US Navy and then working at hospitals, nursing homes, and finally in a pathology laboratory. When I left the US in 2009, it was to pursue a new life with new goals.</p> <p>A series of unfortunate events and family acrimony resulted in the loss of my life's savings that had been earmarked to begin a new business. The past three years have seen me teaching English and writing. The income from teaching has been meager at best and my book sales have been dismal.</p> <p>I have seen, in the three years living in Jordan, that coffee is the life blood that brings people together. It is the central character in all gatherings. I want to open a coffee shop where I can not only earn a living, but bring people together for fun, relaxation and above all, friendship.</p> <p>My years of working with the public coupled with my youth and early life in retail grocery sales will stand good for me as I begin this new venture. I fully expect to see great crowds nightly as people come for a reasonably priced coffee, perhaps some sweets and arghileh.</p> <p>Please join me on this quest for the perfect cup of coffee!</p>
