Oh poor blog, what is it going to take to revive thee? A facelift perhaps (ahem ahem)? A new home? I can't believe you're already 3 years old! Where does the time go. Next thing I know, you'll be in your teens and who knows where your mama's and papa's will be.

Oh precious blog, I know I too have neglected thee since the spawn of my own offspring. Please forgive me. But thankfully you have Uncle Jeff and Uncle Phil who periodically check in on you from time to time with stories of cheesy tv and cheesy tunes. Oh lucky you.

But fear not little blog, for I will rally everyone to come to your side like the days of old with tales of the real world, love, friendship, and your personal favorite, public drunkenness.

Anyhow, I believe I overheard some people talking over the weekend about reviving this old thing by blogging about their restaurant reviews. I second that. Heck, I'll even start.

For good lunchtime eats on the Embarcadero, hit up Pier 23. On nice days, the seats out back on the patio are prime spots to enjoy the sun and food. You got the waters of the Bay at your side, the sun shining on your face, and a plate full of good eats (I highly recommend their linguine - the chef hooks you up with tons of shrimp, chicken and sausage galore). They got live music playing almost every night and a fully stocked bar. That filipino reggae band Native Elements just played there last weekend. Two thumbs up from me, Taft.
