While explaining this to the guy (about 14 years old) I realized that he was the one who came once a week during the summer months to clean our windows. Okay. Well, last summer I remember talking to him about the possibility of starting a window cleaning business (after all, he cleaned about 10 restaurant windows in a 7 block radius in Prospect Heights). I had even gone as far to explain to him that I would show him how to set up an LLC and teach him the little I knew about running a business. He seemed pretty distracted, may have been the summer heat, but perhaps he was thinking I was going nuts, because after all, who talks to 14 year old window cleaners about setting up LLC's.
Well, I've always wanted to be part of an organization that helped the not-so-fortunate youngsters amongst us. I will at some point, once I've stopped devouring sour grapes, start a non-profit specifically geared towards first generation children of immigrants from Jamaica (perhaps High School drop-outs or those who just have a bleak outlook and would be grateful for some kind of direction).
Nonetheless, I invited the kid into Homage and offered him a cup of tea. Kanye was blasting out of my speakers and I could tell by the bopping of his head that I had gained some cool points with him.
I thought about it but decided not to discuss Limited Liability Companies today. Maybe in the summer?
