My New Dream Car: Saturn Sky

I've seen a couple of Saturn Sky automobiles recently and I've fallen in love with this car. I'm afraid to buy it because I park at a "Park and Ride" in the shady part of Los Angeles -- so I'm afraid the top will be cut and the car will be stolen. Oh well -- I can dream; can't I? If I had my wish right now I'd live on the ocean in Malibu and be driving a Sky. Maybe someday -- soon I hope. ~Steve.

Weekend in Santa Barbara

My Latest Favorite Drink When I Eat Out: Long Island Tea

1 part vodka
1 part tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®

I had lunch on the Santa Barbara Pier at Longboards on Saturday; it was a wonderful time. I ate on the patio. It was a beautiful day in Southern California. I had Long Island Tea. It was a wonderful weekend in Santa Barbara.

Seeing Dean Martin

I can't believe that I forgot to put on my blog that one of my most memorable celebrity sightings (next to seeing Milton Berle) was seeing Dean Martin on Sunset boulevard toward the end of his life. He was driving a Roll Royce and looked great. Farewell Dino.
