I saw Scott Parker while I was up in Seattle this week. We had breakfast, and caught up. Way over due! Scott and I were high school buddies.
Scott started his own circus clown supply store serving most of the western US based circus's (there is about 4 or 5 of them). That business has developed into so much more. He now also supplies carnival prize goodies to a few of the traveling carnivals here in the in the western US as well. He was saying margins, and the amount of volume of circus clown supplies wasn't large enough to keep his business headed toward being in the black(who knew?). It really forced him to branch out into the carnival prize goodie part of his business. Since branching out he has seen his business take off. He's been doing this for about 6 years now, and he expects to be headed toward profitable in the next 2 or 3 years. People said it couldn't be done! So far their right, but you'll show them. Maybe.
I'm kidding Scott's a Dentist up in Seattle, and has a practice called Redmond Smiles. He's worth the drive my friends.
It's nice to know that after spending all those years in prison he picked up a great trade as a dentist. Something he can do the rest of his life to keep him away from his strange compulsion of stealing AMC Pacers and crashing them into Radio Shack stores. Fortunately for him there aren't too many of those left on the road. He really has to seek them out these days. Good luck buddy, we're all cheering for you. Fight that urge. If you really want to deal with the root issues of your compulsion my Dad said he'd cut you a deal if you'd whiten his teeth.
