Current Restaurant List for 2018

Being retired and having way too much time on my hands, and having a Masters degree in Mathematics, I just have to love spreadsheets. I keep them for everything including the list of New Restaurants I would like to visit during 2018. The list is much longer than the 26 I need to meet my bucket list item, but things do change from year to year. I have included the year the place was added to my list.

As the list got longer and longer, I added a column which I called Desire. How much do I want to go to a particular restaurant? The following table contains the four that I give a 5.0, the highest Desire.




Also, I realized I needed a column for Guests. Can I visit this place alone or do I need to go with someone? Simple, and I am willing to add a third value, Get a Group. Here are the new restaurants with a Desire value of 4.5.



See anything you like? The yellow highlight was an addition this year. I wanted to visit other places outside Brevard and I had read a magazine insert listing some of the best restaurants in Florida. I picked out some I would like to visit. There are other columns in the spreadsheet that I have not included here. Here are the new restaurants with a Desire value of 4.0.



Did you notice that the restaurants are in alphabetical order for each Desire value? It makes it easier for me to find a place. Here are the new restaurants with a Desire value of 3.5.


Choosing the Type has become hard since most restaurants do not focus on one type of food. Where I can, I try to visit a web page to see what they call themselves. Sometimes they do not know what they are. Here are the new restaurants with a Desire value of 3.0.


I also realized that some places I cannot get to in a day, I will have to spend a night. Oh my, that makes me realize I should find two places for the overnight trips. Here is the rest of the new restaurants...


The spreadsheet also includes links to menus and web pages for each restaurant. If you would like a copy of my spreadsheet, it uses Excel, I would be happy to email it to you. Just send your request to me at bj.provoncha@gmail.com. Again, I am looking for people who would like to go with me. Good Eating!

Photo Memory - BJ with others

Image
As I continue to scan in all the photos I have collected over the years, I have continually modified the way I am trying to organize the photos. I have created groups by individuals, and of course central to that are photos of me. I have shared some of the single photos of me on Facebook, and I would like to share here a few of photos of me with others. The first photo is me, not even four months old, being held by my Grandmother, Helen Rheaume Shackett. I know the photo was taking at our Weybridge Street house in Middlebury by the banister behind us. The stairs are steep in the Provoncha house, and many a drunk fell down those stairs into the cactus my mom kept at the bottom. Tom moved the bathroom from the second floor to the first when he purchased the house, so now only those spending the night get to go up those stairs. BJ with Grandma Shackett The next photo is when I turned one in the summer of 1958. I lived at the Weybridge St house all my life through high sch...

"All You Need Is Love"

Weddings! All you need is Love !  The other night I had a weird dream about attending a wedding. When I woke, I started thinking about the weddings I have attended in my life. I was not sure if I could remember them all. I know the list is long and I decided to al least get a record of the ones I have pictures from. Sometimes I was just an onlooker, and there were times I was lucky to be part of the wedding party. In actuality, I always participate in the wedding party! Here are some wedding photos from my archive. Family I did not attend this wedding. It was November 24 in 1946, my mom Stella united with my dad Harold at Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Middlebury Vermont. Although I was not there in body, you could say my whole future depended upon this moment. My oldest sister Patsy got married out West and none of the family attended. Pat and Brent ended up moving to Hawaii where my niece Lori was born. Tom married Robin, but it was a very small gathering. Just after I graduated...

"I Am the Walrus"

 I use to be a Tiger and now I am the Walrus . Just recently I found out that my friend Randy Quesnel had passed away. Although it happened back in March, I just found out on Facebook. I had not kept in touch with Randy but I did have some fond memories of him. One connection we had was playing football together at MUHS. My Senior year, Randy was a Junior. I knew I had a photo of him but all I could find was this scan from the Addison Independent. Tigers of the Week ! This was 1974, 50 years ago. That is Randy on the left, and my classmate Bob Shaw on the right. Randy played fullback but he also spent time as defensive end. I was the defensive halfback on the same side of the field and Coach Wagner had a verbal call for me to let the DE know I was rushing and the DE had to contain. Whenever I made the call, Randy would give me a look, he liked to rush the backfield and I was messing him up. Of course, he knows the call was from either Hubie or Coach Chuck Martin or Coach K. But he ...
