errrrrr I should have copied my reply .. they seem to go into never never land. Most of my posts never get there. After I have typed out this long reply. By the time I realize it. I don't feel like typing it again.
So short.. of what I wrote. Brandon is actually convenient as in close to major HWY.. I - 75 and Hwy 60. There are a bunch of places right in that general vacinity. Lets see.. Bennegins, Mo's SW Grill. Red Lobster, Olive Garden. Don Pablos, Macaroni Grill. , smokey bones. Buddy Freddy's. Sam Seltzers Steakhouse. And for the ladies who like to shop.. After lunch, you can work it off , walking thru the mall. Which also has a food court , with everything you can think of .. But fast food of course.
So if anyone else has any ideas... Tarpon would be a good time too, but not near any majoy highway, so for those not knowing the area. Its out of the way kind of travel. Closest major Hwy is US 19.. and pray for all that drive that.. LOL , has gotten better over the years though.
So anyway... we are open for ideas. chime in.. and lets get this going.

Okay, everybody, you've seen Andiamo's and Dperry's situation. I'll drive over towards the west side, if somebody living over on that side does the planning, because I can't plan it if I'm not familiar w/what's up over there, you know? I just need sometime during the 1st two weeks of the month (but not on either side of St. Patrick's Day, in other words, not on the 16, 17, or 18th because that is in conflict w/being in Lake City for my Mom's Birthday. She's Irish and her B-day fall's on St. Pat's Day, isn't that neat?

My problem is that I have rented a condo in Naples for the month of February and that is out of the way for most everyone else. Then I am spending a week in the keys at a friend's place before I come back up to the Tampa area for the second week of March.
So I am here until Feb 1 and then back for the second week in March. Then, off to NY for the summer and all the post study visits (every two weeks) to make sure the drugs didn't do anything awful to me - LOL - as if I need a blood test to know that!

As my days are very unpredictable right now.....how about I'll 'help' plan it :}
Check out somewhere in the middle, etc.
I like my town, lol! j/k
We need to consider who's in tx, rough shape to have them drive the least (I can get my son to drive me). As Eric has been thru a long, hard tx....send us some towns closer to you Eric.
Dperry, your done now, feeling better? Are you off work weekends? Brandons not too bad of a drive for me.
(funny! I seem to have a problem with stalkers! Online and off! Had one from Brandon in @99. Looked like Jesus. Found my house, would leave toys for my kids outside, kept coming to my job, got into a private opening of a biz,WEIRD guy! Okay, maybe not Brandon! lol!)

I live in Brandon, and get an hour for lunch.. So that would be tough to do.. Unless everyone came here, and I doubt everyone wants to drive here for lunch.. LOL
But maybe some weekend I can head towards tarpon and we could all go to Mr Savlakis for Lunch..
Is it possible to have the lunch close to you so that you don't have to drive far and can do it during the week?
