I was sitting at my desk, having some poke from The Market at HFS.......
When I took a look at my calendar and suddenly realized we were going to make 17!
My goodness how time flies. At home I did a quick count and this is post 4731....who'd have thunk, back in 2005 that we'd still be around?
I think the date usually slips my mind because we'd usually be traveling during this time of the year. Of course we've been derailed by Covid and this year, when we finally decided to take the plunge it was earlier in the month.
It has indeed been a rough couple of years and I really need to thank all of you for stopping our our little blog; for humoring my scribbling, my weird sense of humor, and for taking the time out to visit and comment.
It's been our little "food and travel diary" for 6,210 days!
You all keep this blog alive; not me. I treasure all our "F(riends) O(f) Y(oso)" - thank you for being one!
I hope everyone is doing well!
And thank you again for being a part of our little blog!
Take care!
Thanks so much Junichi!

Here’s to 17 more dances around the sun for your blog Kirk! From when I first left SD for college in 2005 until now, following your food adventures around SD, Hawaii, and abroad has been a must whenever I find myself surfing the web.
Mmm-yoso has been my internet home away from home for so many years….I can’t thank you, Cathy, the late Ed, and anyone else that has contributed to this blog enough.

Mr.K, you have sustained me over the years. I pretty sure I found you in 2006 and have been an avid reader ever since. I really enjoy your sense of humor! I was especially grateful that you stayed posting through COVID and beyond. I also think of your friend from Yuma. He was such a character. Cathy has also been a lovely constant to fill in for you. I enjoy her posts very much too. Thank you for the "free" entertainment, education and living vicariously through your travels. It's been a great ride. Cheers to decades more of MMMYOSO! Thank you so much, Barbara

Thanks for letting me help out and share the food adventures that The Mister and I experienced over the years. Thanks to everyone who does comment as well as the many who take the time to read posts. (Many thanks for the posts about The Market at HFS, our newest 'regular stop')

The blog would probably not still be in existence without your posts Cathy! So I need to thank you!

Gosh Kirk, I don't even know when I first came upon your blog, but I do know it was very early on. Congratulations on 17 years...that is very cool!

Thanks Jack! Always great hearing from you!

Congrats! To Kirk, Cathy, and Ed (RIP). I love going back old posts....it's funny how it's at this point where certain posts will take me into a rabbit hole of where I was during that time. SD will always be a part of me even if I'm no longer there. And this blog helps me still feel connected to my time there. Looking forward to reading everything in the next year and beyond!
