The Downtown Diner has opened a new branch

My life got pretty crazy around the end of last year and I couldn't find much time to scramble eggs for the customers at The Downtown Diner.

Plus, to be honest, I was censoring myself pretty heavily since this blog is corporate-sponsored. You guys weren't getting full-on me, you were getting a filtered version of me. I always asked myself the question, "Will I be representing Sun well if I write this? What kind of picture am I painting of a Sun manager with this?"

Basically I wanted to make grilled cheese sandwiches but I felt compelled to use whole wheat bread and Brie when really, doesn't a grilled cheese sandwich taste better when it's Wonder Bread and American cheese?

So anyway I created a private blog where I can serve up whatever blue plate specials I want - http://thedowntowndiner.blogspot.com . Feel free to drop by there.

It's a new branch but the waitress will still recognize you.

Don't know you have a new blog portal. I am wondering why you don't deliver any blogs those days. That is not your style. ;-)

I am so glad that you are blogging. I was missing your humor.

Excellent! Exactly how I felt when I migrated to NomadicMinds. I cross posted to both and eventually retired sun blogs.

It's great that I saw your update. But why I cannot open that link? It says "The page cannot be displayed".

Kelly I think blogspot is getting blocked in China lately. I'm in the U.S. right now and can access it freely... Hopefully this is a temporary thing and we'll be able to access blogspot in China again soon.
