How to fill time in retirement

It is hard to believe but we are already through January of 2019, only 11 months left in this year. Keeping up with my restaurant visit bucket list item, I have gone to three new restaurants so far this year. All three are in Melbourne. The first I visited is a new place called His & Hers Restaurant Bar . It is located in the shopping plaza behind the Hooters on Babcock street, near Makoto's . It is supposed to be Turkish. I think it was previously a Chinese buffet. The sign is prominent but not too distinguishable. Remember that! When I arrived about 12:45, there was one couple at the bar and one couple in a booth. No one was seated at any of the tables. There was a specials sign as you walked in... They definitely like their name because there it was on the wall... The place is spacious but the ceilings are too high. Although there were few people, I could tell it probably is very noisy with a crowd. There is a large bar with more than a dozen stools...

In the new year of 2019, I have been changing my FaceBook Cover photo every few days. The latest cover is this photo... On the post, I usually ask the question "Where was I?" Sometimes I get legitimate guesses and sometimes I get smart-ass answers. I really like a little of both, some make me laugh but some also help me to remember. Every photo we take is just a moment in time at a specific place. Truly a snapshot... And each one has a story, what I am calling a cover story! Let us begin... A few moments earlier in the evening I had taken this next photo. I like that it is a little lighter, but the lack of clouds, in my opinion, diminishes the moment. The clouds add character... I did catch a nice look at the clouds right after the sun went down. I like it but I love the full mountain range and not just the small hill in the foreground of this photo... But the real beauty is the view which is the next photo, even earlier in the same evening. I love sunsets b

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 vis
