‘From Nothing, Everything’ That’s the way I felt. Maybe Jess too, I don’t know for certain though. The gang, Hell they were never lost like I was. Looking back I think these ‘Sort of tainted deals’ were the kind of things I had always wanted. I almost wish th...
“Hey!”
“Hay is for horses Jess!”
“We just got something! This is big, as big as everything else. Heather found it, got it, imagined it, whatever!”
“What another Sports thing?”
“Yes, no, maybe that’s how she found it but no, it’s not just for sports; we all can use it! Listen!” She tuned on the TV then started flipping channels.
NFL Sports was first, then QVC, Home Shopping Network, TBS, CNN, Netflix, Hulu and then went to a laptop and cast a dozen Web sites on that same TV screen.
“See?” She said! Yep.
“What did you see?”
“Ahh, a TV and a bunch of different things?”

Those in Atlanta wanted to stay and came to her, the Falcons really. Heather went to Jess now to me and an idea was born.
All our arms, munitions, boats, tanks, planes; all of it could be as detailed and graphic as needed. Visual tours of the Buildings, malls, Casinos, everything Tony and Vince wanted to sell could be seen on TV, the web, even our own streaming channels.
Brenda and her new op with Jeff, the same thing. They could show and price and sell millions of things, across the globe with Zero need for the buyers to leave their Home, PC or even a phone worked. Neet Ehh.
Ted was called and TBS and the Ex NFL guys could control things from Atlanta. It didn’t stop there. “We could... “ and on and on she went for over an hour longer she talked, I had to listen. At the end I could only stand up and do one thing. I took her in my arms and kissed her.
