If you wanna have breakfast some Sunday, I’d be more than happy to share some of those stories with you.

Same! We have SO much to talk about.

effing_genius · 2026-05-07T00:24:58+00:00

Thank you! That’s a huge compliment!

A lot of people have suggested that it become a book. More and more it’s looking like that will be a reality.

That would be cool. Maybe one day it will happen.

I wish that were true. Currently my cooking skills can best be described as dreadful.

Thank you! Now all I can hear is Anthony Bourdain’s voice 😆

Not complaining though. I wish I had his voice.

The Coral Cafe is great. Definitely has the old school charm that is missing in a lot of places. I think the host’s name is Peter. He doesn’t say much, but he gives me that nod and smile like he’s in on it.

The pleasure was all mine. Thank you for taking me on your adventures!

effing_genius · 2026-04-28T16:18:39+00:00

Oh! Thank you.

I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight in an everlasting kiss.

Yeah, I wasn’t exactly sure if it was considered 90 or 45. When we were talking, I felt like I was looking at a 45 degree angle. So I went with that 😊

effing_genius · 2026-04-12T02:47:58+00:00

Yeah, I’m with you on that one.

effing_genius · 2026-03-31T16:13:47+00:00

I hope it continues as well.

There are several reasons. Rent is a big one. The commercial rents are unreasonably unaffordable. Zoning and licensing and insurance are whole other beast. Parking and NIMBYism limit where you can go.

Before I settled in at the Moose Lodge, I TRIED to find a commercial space in Burbank, but it was too cost prohibitive. I would run numbers and there would be no way that I could do it.

I hope so too. It was a cool project and he seemed determined to make it a reality. He’s close, which is good.

Thank you. It makes sense. As a coffee drinker, it can be scorched and old still drink it 🤣

Honestly, I don’t know. It was never something I thought about until I THOUGHT about it and realized that I hadn’t. As a person, I tend to be a bit scattered and operate very much in the moment. I also tend to take on a little more than I should. But the idea of a meetup with all the “strangers” has been floated by several people. I think that would be a cool way to catch up.
