Passed by there yesterday and it looked open except there were no cars in the lot or any signs of life inside. But it still looked open.

Do you mean the lights were on? Then that was probably Barry looking around for his lost hope. Perhaps the owner of Pat's next door can help him find it, since they are looking for the same thing.

I take that back, Pat's owner probably needs about four more months of reality before he loses his hope. He's probably in the 2nd stage of acceptance: Anger. There are five stages of acceptance:
1) Denial
2) Anger
3) Bargaining
4) Depression
5) Acceptance

From a recent article, Barry was hoping for some investors to keep the bidness going. That sounds like the bargaining stage to me. Of course no investor is that stupid (besides family). Now that he hasn't received any phone calls, he's likely in the early stage of depression. Only one more step to go Barry! You're almost there!
