Hey, Friends! My original Facebook account (Matthew C. Goto) was disabled in February/March 2022. After dozens of attempts to regain access I never received feedback, a response or aid from Facebook… 🤦🏻♂️ So, six months later I’m back – but with a new account. 👋🏼 I rarely use FB (and after my recent experience don’t imagine using or relying on it very much), but I … Continue reading Back on the Book…
We kicked off July by spending a few days in Palm Springs, CA. We love the vibe, the endless dining opportunities and the vintage sights and sounds that echo the city’s old school Hollywood influence. And we couldn’t get enough of the endless walls of greenery used to provide privacy in the Movie Colony neighborhood – and it served as a fun photo opportunity as … Continue reading Privacy Shrubs – A must have in the Movie Colony!
When in Kentucky, take in all that the Bluegrass has to offer… Like visiting the offspring of some Kentucky Derby Champions with friends! Continue reading A Pretty Stable Weekend
Hi, I’m Matthew. And I use to run a blog before we “pandemic’d.” Now that we’ve addressed my awkward absence of the last 16 months, I’m doing my best to get back to what life was like before a bat closed movie theaters and indoor dining around the world (am I making a light hearted joke about a global crisis? Yes – it’s called coping… … Continue reading From zero to super sprint
When the world changed (dramatic statement, but it’s the truth), I told myself that I would use this additional time at home to learn something new. Fast forward to almost 6 months later – and I’m still on that path to learning new things and sharpen (or create) new skill sets. And if you’ve been following my posts (or social media) you’ve been force-fed the … Continue reading Change how you see the world…
I do love a good dining experience – only topped when the dining location is a top culinary destination. Amazing food paired with amazing wine: 10/10… There are no words – so I’ll let the photos speak for themselves! Continue reading Stag’s Leap Wine Cellar
I’m spent the entire “adult” portion of my life working weekends. Key weekends like Labor Day weekend, Martin Luther King weekend and Memorial Day weekend have been busy work weekends for as long as I can remember – and I’m not complaining, it has just been my “norm” and part of my career field. But one of the “silver-linings” of COVID is that 1) I … Continue reading Working for the Weekend…
As I’ve said before, I take A LOT of pictures… and I have really enjoyed the time I’ve had to reorganize, reflect and relive memories through these images lately. While part of this is 100% my need to be organized – it has also helped me focus on the things I’ve had the opportunity to do, give thanks for the people I have in my … Continue reading Relive & Reimagine…
I travel a lot with my job. And I’m guilty of taking that for granted every now and then – especially when it feels like I’m spending more time up in the air than on the ground. But being on lock down going on 3-weeks now, I’m really feeling grateful for all of the opportunities and experiences I’ve had “getting” to travel. Social media reminded … Continue reading ¡Bienvenidos Bogotá!
I’m sure everyone is spending more time shopping for things online these days – especially now that going outside just isn’t an option. We share our favorite places to eat, places we recommend visiting with friends and family – so why not share what we’re buying/using right now? I’m currently obsessed with Perfect Bar protein bars… They are only refrigerated protein bars that I’m aware … Continue reading My latest Top Picks…
You can debate the pros and cons of having a digital footprint – but for millions of millennials (like myself) we great up in the age of posting, tagging and sharing. And I’m immune to post-shaming… I love the comments and interactions I get from friends and family on what I post (and if you think I post a lot, be grateful you’re not in … Continue reading The Miles Add Up…
