One of my best friends is in the "our thing" crowd. He runs a generally legitimate business and is a great guy. I was over at his storefront playing cards a couple weeks ago when a couple of cars pulled in filled with Tony Soprano and Johnny Sack types. They wanted to discuss some "business."

I have to admit, I was very uncomfortable when they walked in...the vibe was palpable. I got introduced all around and as soon as I could, made my way to the door.

Not my bag baby.
