No arguments. Sadly, Martin Brothers has closed their
doors (pass me a hanky please). Jeff Martin is the guy
with the monks outfit with a hood and two birds perched
on his should in the Springs currently running front
page slide show.

Oh, that is sad. Maybe you went around and told too many people they took you're favorite item off the menu! I liked that place off of 26th street, east of I-35 that had their own garden... the best chipotle-artichoke enchiladas!

West Lynn and Mothers are owned by the same folks. Mr. Natural isn't in
their league or even close. And Martin Brothers shut down, otherwise they
would have been a contender.

great hopscotch games outside, too, on the sidewalks
between 2:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon
different colored chalk, differently drawn squares, goofy doodlings
and kids from all walks of life
lotta times they'd laugh when they was talkin'
that's why I went there

That's true. I just did not want to say anything, at first, because I live in the same house, and I thought it might be a breach of privacy.

Well I almost posted it, but thought better of it. I figured it would come out sooner or later. specially when she was using his logon from time to time, when she forgot to sign him off, and sign on, before using the same computer.

Yes, and no. When there has been enough history in a relationship, for mutual
trust to develop, yes. When one partner is following the other around like a puppy dog, No.

True, but you'd find challenge. Somewhere. Because you are not the type to be content with a complacent lifestyle.

We did had a good time as I remember, Ree. And a better time on our last visit. My sister Alice was there with her husband Don and dad talked about with exploits in the War (WW2). He's put golf on the shelf for a while while he heals up his leg.

Back to vegetarian. Martin Brothers closed. But Mothers still trucks on. I need to revisit the East Side Cafe, it's moved way up in the Chronicle Restaurant poll and features it's own home grown produce.

I went to a great vegetarian restaurant by the Bay in the Presidio section of San Fran near the Golden Gate Bridge, there were oak burls for seats and tables and the food was exquisite.

It's a toss up between Mothers (for old times sake) and Veggie Heaven (for being so conveniently located on the drag). W Lynn is a mothers offshoot. Mr. Natural is good now and then.
