@David-SF is planning a pre-event at his home in Cathedral City (next door to Palm Springs). At the event, he is planning to plant a tree in Daddy’s honor. https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/attention-18th-annual-palm-springs-weekend-2021.163323/

Hey all, just wanted to let everyone know that I won’t be meeting up with you in Palm Springs this year. Unfortunately, my father is short for this world so I must go to Oregon to be with he and my sister. I was so looking forward to seeing all of you in my city. This year will be all more important with the sad news of Daddy/Guy. Have fun and make a toast for Daddy.

Update: Friday, March 26th: called the hospital to get an update on Guy’s condition. It’s now 1 month since he was found unconscious on the floor of his apartment.
 
Some changes from Monday’s update.
He now has the tracheotomy replacing the tube down his throat. He’s no longer being sedated or receiving any pain medication. He’s unresponsive to any commands and hasn’t opened his eyes this week. His blood pressure remains high. I asked about his organs. This is the 1st time I was told he’s on dialysis. He’s still on the ventilator and his skin sores are not healing.
 
This medical report was difficult for me to hear and I’m sure it’s difficult for all to read. We’ve been keeping Guy Fawkes/daddy in our thoughts and hoping for the best. As I mentioned earlier, he’s been unconscious for a month and the reports haven’t shown any signs of recovering.
 
If anyone wants to visit Guy in the hospital, please send me a PM for the details.
 
Wish I had better news to share.

Restaurants in Palm Springs are NOT typical of restaurants in Southern California in general. Ethnic food in California has traditionally been dominated by Asian and Mexican cuisine. Thus, with that in mind one will usually find excellent Asian and Mexican restaurants in most California cities and towns – NOT, however, in Palm Springs. The Palm Springs population is dominated by transplanted residents from the Midwest and East especially this time of year. Mexican food in California has its origins in Northern Mexico especially Sonora. It is very spicy (hot) and tortillas are made of corn NOT flour. Most native Californians find the Mexican food in Palm Springs bland and tasteless. When I was a kid in Los Angeles Chinese food meant Cantonese style. But that rapidly expanded to include a plethora of different styles from all over China. Chinese food in Palm Springs is still Cantonese dominated. That’s just fine if all you are looking for is Sweet & Sour Pork.
 
Now for some recommendations:
 
Breakfast: 1.) Rick’s Restaurant and Bakery, 1973 North Palm Canyon Drive, 760-416-0090. This place is a Palm Springs breakfast institution and has a very loyal gay clientele, 2.) Elmer’s Restaurant, 1030 East Palm Canyon Drive, 760-327-8419. This is an Oregon chain which I actually prefer to Rick’s but I’m out there by myself on this one.
 
Lunch: Sherman’s Deli & Bakery, 401 East Tahquitz Canyon Way, 760-325-1199. This is another Palm Springs institution. I love their chopped liver on rye. They also serve breakfast and dinner. Tyler’s Burgers, 149 South Indian Canyon Drive, 760-325-2990, another Palm Springs institution. It’s good but I actually prefer In-N-Out.
 
Dinner: Copleys on Palm Canyon, 621 North Palm Canyon Drive, 760-327-9555. Upscale restaurant serving continental food – expensive. Johannes, 196 South Indian Canyon Road, 760-778-0017. Upscale restaurant serving continental and Austrian food – expensive, Spencer’s Restaurant, 701 West Baristo Drive, 760-327-3446. Pretty location. Serves continental food – expensive, Tropicale, 330 East Amado Road, 760-866-1952. Nice atmosphere with good food at moderate prices.
 
These are just a few places I personally know. Please keep in mind that with limited indoor dinning currently in effect in California EARLY reservations are a MUST at all of the nicer restaurants in town. It is NOT to early to make reservations NOW in fact it might even be too late

One thing to know is that Amazon hosts 1,000’s of “mom and pop” stores and products for companies that cannot afford the infrastructure for online sales. These stores would not be able to offer anything other than local sales without Amazon.

I LOVE cold pizza the next day!

I have a client profile stored on RM. I actually like when a provider reviews it. They know what they are getting as well as what I want. Granted, I would prefer it not be used to calculate their fee for time. But, I guess I’ll never know, unless he says, “It will $500/hr since you are hideous looking!”

Yes, I know. It’s one of those unexplainable aversions. Kind of like beets, as noted in a previous thread. I wouldn’t go to a beet-focused restaurant, even though they would have other things on their menu!

I use GoodRx “coupons” for drugs that aren’t covered by Medicare Part D. For example, Part D does not cover my sleeping pills. A GoodRx coupon allows me to pay $18 per month at Ralph’s as opposed to $100+. I’ve used it for more than one year with zero issues.

Never have I ever been arrested - not even a speeding ticket.
