OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

A Long Walk To Ocean Beach (from East Mount Helix....)


So, I'm going to take a long walk

There's no deep reason for this, it's not a fundraiser and I'm not having another mid-life-crisis (have I had one before?!?!?), It's simply been a while since I've done something like this, and it seems time.

Yes, I've taken an all day walk before, many times actually.  I've done the 3-Day Walk 3 times (20 miles a day, 3 days in a row), and I've walked from North Park to the beach a number of times (once I walked back as well).

This one is roughly 18.85 miles and I guess that it will take about 7 hours, give or take.

The route (as noted below) is also very rough, but should be very close to the actual.

I'll depart at 7:00am, on Saturday November 13th.

All are welcome to join me, for all, or part, or none.  Meeting me along the way to say hi or offer a water, or Band-Aid or Tylenol (joking, I'll be fine :-), would also be cool.  

I go pretty fast, and won't be making many stops, other than for quick nourishment and biological breaks, so keep that in mind if this sounds interesting to you.

But know that, honestly, there is absolutely no pressure to join or act or even care about this.

I'll be posting my progress to Instagram, so if you want to check in on me here's the link (I also post a lot more there than via this blog, so if you want to see more of what I'm actually doing that's a good interface to do that):











I hope you all are staying healthy and happy.

Make it a great day.

DVA
