So, we lost our Internet access over the last two nights.....well, actually mostly last night. The most wonderful technician came in and fixed things up late this afternoon....after testing and crawling through our circa 1950 crawlspace. He was a great guy, not originally from the states, but I got to ask him a bit about his home, a place we're thinking about travelling to soon.
That's the wonder of travel....and the places we've been; and the honor I've had of being able to share that with folks who read our blog.
And of course, all the great meals......
And yet, as much as I enjoy doing posts......while the Missus was just tortured not being able to get Her Netflix or YouTube; I enjoyed just relaxing and reading something from my backlog of books. Just like old times.
And then today, a former coworker; JillV contacted me, who I'd always encouraged to travel....who now is creating her own company and is moving to Europe! There are few things more gratifying than that.
You know, my desire is not to be an "influencer".....I'm not looking to make money from this blog......as Cathy always says, "we eat and then write about it". Be it good or bad.....
I look at the blog as my little food and travel diary......of places I've been.....
And things, sometimes amazing, sometimes not, that I've had pleasure of eating...…
And......as always, I need to thank you for stopping by!
Now that our connectivity issues are resolved; I'll have something for you all tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by!
glad you are back online, definitely know how helpless one feels without it.

We've become so tied to technology Kat!

Digital detox is actually a thing nowadays. I still enjoy reading books in physical form too.

I'm glad that you and Cathy are not influencers by posting Instagrammable photos! This blog is a wonderful resource, and I like reading your viewpoints.

I love the smell and feel of a new book in my hand Junichi!

Love the cool places you travel to!

I love how real you and Cathy are with your posts. No ass kissing "sponsored/media/wine and dine the influencer" posts. You all visit more than once so it's not just a one off post either. More validity that way.

Thank you for sharing your food and travels. I can’t remember how I came by your site many years ago (maybe it was the kalua pork recipe), but it’s been wonderful. A great read, and source of ideas for places to eat; be it in SD or abroad. Thanks!

You do a great job of keeping us all abreast of the “real” San Diego food scene…the places we are actually all interested in…:) so thank you for all your hard work over the years!
