Santa Barbara

I stopped in Santa Barbara so my brother Matt could examine my Saab and make sure it could endure the trip.

He discovered a problem in one of the wheel bearings, but he was able to fix it and rotated my tires. He steam cleaned all the wheels.

My nephew Ian plays bass in a band, Youthful Heros. He recently passed some test and now will spend his final year of high school taking all his classes at City College.

My nephew Luke plays Dark Ages of Camelot on-line and is ranked in the top ten nationally, along with his girlfriend Lisa.

Ian's friend Andy had a new haircut--until now, he'd always had elbow-length hair.
