Tuesday 7:30 AM, we were already on our way to Greenwich to visit Vivian and Chase and ask what really made them to forget us. My crew were already advising that I file to revoke the house and Company, but I had a better plan. Me, Mike, Luis, Jamal, Tommy Jr., Sloane, with dusty boots from Elko roofs, jeans, $22 t-shirts, hard hats in the truck bed, HAWTHORNE in Sharpie. We wanted to ask one question: why housewarming without inviting Jack? We parked on Round Hill Road by 8:45 AM on tuesday. The Big house lights were on. Two new F-150s $72k each in the driveway. White sheet still over the pool house hole. Catering trash bag still by the garage, Hendrick's. I had told Brown "Brown, don't file yet, maybe they were just excited, maybe they forgot to invite, maybe nice works." Brown said "Jack, page 4 clause, thirty-day clawback, I wrote it for this exact party." I said "Don't file yet." So no revocation yet. No Sheriff, no email. Just house and company given away on Monday, hous

I flew to far-away state on Wednesday at 11 AM to dad's forgotten workshop. Dad's real workshop was in a far away state, dusty and forgotten, 2,400 miles from Elko, near old steel mill, industrial block 8 buildings, chain link fence rusted, weeds 3 feet high, windows broken, sign faded CROFT MACHINE SHOP 1978.
