    Thanks Dave,

    If anyone is having a problem with a Friday dinner, we can do it Sat or Mon. Just let us know and we'll work around it.

    Thanks.

    I'll be in LA Wednesday and Thursday, but I should be arriving home about the time Ian lands at LAX. At least he and I won't be waiting in different terminals for me to pick him up!

    Out.

    That was funny 😁. I was only there for two days.

    Now l need a few options on my first Man versus Food venue after l arrive in the morning and grab the car.

    Any ideas? It needs to be a descent stodge 🍣🍣🍔🍔🍛🍧🥞🍺🍺☕️☕️🍟🍟 Lol

    After that l will probably do the tragic tourist thing.

    Any ideas. No rules anything goes...Lol. (Might be easy to rule out what not to do)

    After that l will probably chill out in a bar.

    Oh you guys are going to have LOTS OF FUN!!!

    The government is shut down and TSA agents have reported double the normal sick outs. Inspecting agents were just ordered to inspect planes without pay!

    Because California is anti-Trump, maybe you'll get lucky.

    If I were there, I'd meet you at Islands Fine Burgers and Drinks.

    https://www.islandsrestaurants.com

    There are two locations near LAX:

    MANHATTAN BEACH 3200 N. Sepulveda Blvd. Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
    Phone: (310) 546-4456
    Sun - Thurs: 11am - 10pm Fri & Sat: 11am - 11pm






    REDONDO BEACH 1609 Hawthorne Blvd. Redondo Beach, CA 90278

    Phone: (310) 363-8968
    Sun - Thurs: 11am - 10:30pm Fri & Sat: 11am - 11pm

    Sit at the bar if you're by yourself and strike up a conversation with someone. I've had intriguing encounters with all kinds of folks, young, old, male, female, trans, local, out-of-town, international, filmmakers, execs, cops, teachers—the list goes on. After returning from my grandson's funeral in Chicago last February, I sat next to a couple, maybe 10 years younger than me, and they had just buried their daughter. We were all looking for answers. We didn't find any that night other than shared experiences and mai tais, but it shows you can meet anyone there.

    Once, a car dealer took me out to the lot and let me drive his 911. (He was in the passenger seat, of course!)

    Another time it was an old geezer, older than me! who could barely hear, so I interpreted what was showing on the big screen. He had a ball, thought I was a surfing genius, and I enjoyed him so much I paid for his food and drink. It made both of our days.

    Just use your natural charm, and you'll be a hit, If you sit at the bar and strike up a conversation.






    Good food, big screens showing amazing skiing, surfing, sports, etc., endless fries, soup, salads, fish tacos, good drinks, etc. What could go wrong?

    Okay, that's my idea. Wish I could be there.
    Out.

    Have a good trip back. I've been enjoying the Tour Down Under on tv. Nice scenery.

    You could kill many birds with one stone. Many serve food.
