My turn to be mushy.... I, too, have had a very difficult year. Many transitions, many life changing events. Traveling to AC for the first time and meeting some incredible people there has truly impacted my life. And, then to come back and share it (and more) with all you fine folks.... yep, Zeke, even though you're onery even on Christmas, you're still a gem... I haven't been around the board much this fall, but love ya'all dearly! Best wishes for 2002, and count me in for the party of the century!

menu: http://casado.net/northbank/dinnermenu.html

a dozen kinds of fresh fish every day, kansas beef, all soups and sauces from scratchman, we had the grub.

god that was hard work.

Great menu there Marty, I'm just praying that I get out of this business while I'm still breathing. Thirty years owning restaurants have made the Zekester an old man before his time.

Thought I could not get any free advertising here, huh Marty? Played you like a fiddle....LOL

Ha ha, too funny Big Zeke. Anyway glad to know where you're at. Will pay you a visit soon. St. Augustine is my favorite hang out.

P.S. also owned a restuarant in Belize many moons ago....I decided..one could get lost in the kitchen forever..so that didn't last long lol.

Hi Zeke,
I hope Santa was good to you... I hear he visits the really naughty ones too! In fact, I know he does... he visited my place!!
See you next week!!
I loved your shameless plug, but you didn't do a very good job of it... you didn't say the food is absolutely delicious, the drinks are perfect, the clientel is questionable (after all, I have been there), the only problem I know of is the nasty decor.... you have that awful picture of Spurrious and another of the Stooper... you should class up the joint... paint it garnet and gold!! Love ya'll! Kisses to Mrs Zeke!

MR....I paid Ibanole for writing that, but if you do come over give me a notice and maybe Vicki can join us. Lunch or dinner on me! Now can you beat that?

Zeke, you're too cute for words...will let you know when I'm heading that way. Just live down the road in longwood fl. Great deal!

MR

hey bigzeke --

We lived in Saint A for a year. Sailed down from New York. Our boat still lives there. When we hang up this job racket we'll be down there getting her ready to sail to Belize, among other places. We'll drop in.
