In my state the Governor says we can once again move about on May 5th (though I doubt it).  That day is Cinco de Mayo so I'll head down to Keenan's at the Pier and have a honkin' big margarita and two blackened fish tacos to celebrate!

I'm always dying waiting for the local Mexican restaurant to reopen.  

My favorite also.
I'll just be glad when our club is open, I feel like I'm heading to work to play golf packing a lunch and drinks...

I just told my wife today that I'm really craving the spicy miso at our regular ramen spot. She's not a fan of ramen in general but a bowl of it and an icy Saporro is my idea of heaven. I'll be there the first day I can go and sit in the place.

Would that be Nick's in the Sticks?

Ha!  Nice post.  So, I know my response here is total sacrilege, but in this case I'm actually referring to 43 Prime up near TCHS.  Not sure if you've been there.  They "borrowed" a heck of a lot of the ideas from Nick's (don't know much about the management or any links between them), right down to their "33 degrees" drink mimicking the Nicodemus.  But they have more room, it's closer to us, and it's waaaaay easier to get in--hardly ever a wait, even on weekends--so we usually just go there instead.  We do still get over to Nick's at least once a year, though.

No judgment... I've never actually EATEN at Nick's because it was always too crowded. 

I was at Alabama from 1989 - 1995ish, and my daughter just graduated last May.  I wish I would have known about this place for those times that we were searching for a place to eat when we were visiting.  I'll have to keep it in mind when my current crop of young'uns go to school.

Local:  sushi.  That's a food I pretty much won't take to go anyway, and I enjoy the experience of eating at the sushi bar.  But if this goes on long enough, I might have to get sushi to go!  I haven't had sushi in a while.

Not local:  I see folks talking about going up to L.A. for sandwiches.  I owe a friend a trip to Langer's, assuming they're still around after this crisis.

Definitely! Nothing like fresh sushi! That’s pretty high on my list too.

Another one for me is our local breakfast spot. Used to go every Saturday morning. Definitely missing that routine.

Tony Jacal's, of course.  Favorite San Diego county Mexican restaurant.  Right nextdoor to Fidels which is also a favorite San Diego Mexican restauratn, but I like Tony's better.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
