2019 - Restaurants to Try

Since I have retired, I have consistently kept up with my Bucket List item to eat at New restaurants. The first two years, I wanted to try one new one every week, and the last two years I have done one new place every other week. I have tried 160 new places in the last four years. You would think I would run out sooner or later, but that is not going to happen for a while. I still have 88 on my wish list and I have not even entered places that have come up through the Facebook group 321 Flavor: where Brevard Eats. New additions here came from the Florida Today and suggestions by friends.


I have ranked the restaurants by desire to go. My desire that is. No real rhyme or reason. I guess I just like numbers (and pivot tables). Here is the latest list for 2019, sorted by highest desire (I must go) to lowest desire (it is New). Some on the list I cannot believe I have not visited yet, while others are located out of the area but I would like to make a day trip or overnight stay to visit.

If you like my list and you would like to go to a particular place with me, please let me know. At this time, my goal for the year is 26 new places...

VT Trip - Steve's Park Diner

Image
 Although I was visiting Vermont primarily to visit relatives, there were other happenings in the town of Middlebury and surrounding areas. The unusual rain had not stopped the summer functions and events from happening. I was lucky enough to attend a few things, and one close to my heart was the small Memorial get-together for Steve's Park Diner being torn down. So on Saturday morning, August 4, after a nice walk from Tom's house on Weybridge Street, I arrived at the diner for one last time. I was early and sat myself next to the diner on the stone wall separating it from the Middlebury Town Hall Theater. The first person I talked to said she was the mother of one of the waitresses from the past, Jodi James. We had a nice chat and I saw an old class mate walking by. It was Kathy Smith, who did Independent Study with me Senior Year at MUHS, class of 1975. We did Oral Interpretation with fellow student Scott Sperry. It was great to see her. Other people starting showing up, some

Go to a retirement lunch

Image
A thing that is almost as fun as retiring is to go to the lunches for someone else that is just retiring. Usually, there are stories of the past and people are happy to see another person reaching the goal of full retirement. I have been lucky to have retired early, and now I am having the pleasure of starting to see other friends and past coworkers retire too. Today, it was my friend Kevin, who started work a year after I did. I have known him for over 35 years. That is a long time. Kevin at his retirement luncheon First, Kevin isn't even his first name. His full name is Michael Kevin Atchison. His wife's name is Christine but goes by Christy. I know Kevin is from Oklahoma and I always assumed Christy was too. They ended up in Florida because of the job at ENSCO, Inc., the company I retired from over two years ago after 34 years. The Florida Division of ENSCO was working sub-contracts for the Air Force. The Florida office was located at Shopper's World in Indian Har

VT Trip - 2023

Image
 My last drive to Vermont was in September of 2019. This time, being about four years older, I decided to give it another try. My goal was to make it to Virginia in the first day and then to Middlebury on the second. But between weather, traffic and construction, the goal can not always be met. My destination: I left Melbourne at 7:15 am on August 2 and I pulled in to the Holiday Inn Express in Roanoke Rapids North Carolina at 7:15 pm. It was about 682 miles in 12 total hours and I was only 9 miles from Virginia. There was a rainstorm in Georgia and lots of construction in North Carolina on I-95 that slowed me down. I left Roanoke Rapids at 7:17 am after having the complimentary breakfast at the Inn. Here is a picture of the Inn I stayed at, I actually have been to this one in a previous trip. As I said, I entered Virginia after gassing up in Weldon NC. The Welcome Center is right on the state line so my car was parked next to this sign... From that same spot I could also see the Welco
