I didn't want to make the effort to go all the way over there. That was a few ago though, and I didn't know they had changed hands. With any luck, maybe the food will now be on par with the yummy fare you enjoyed in San Diego.

I've been thinking about her.<br /><br />Maybe they could have a copy — I'm keeping the original. :) I once gave a copy of an portrait I did of Leon Russel to one of his "bodyguards" at a bar concert. That man was scary, and he acted like I was handing him a bomb instead of a drawing. Don't know if Leon ever received it, but I hope so.<br /><br />Have you been to our LH since it changed hands? My first impression wasn't good, but we'll probably go back and try again.
