Greetings from 93106: Reunion at CCS/UCSB

 I did a day trip up to Santa Barbara to attend a celebration of the 50th year of College of Creative Studies, UC Santa Barbara.

Despite quitting early, my years at Creative Studies made a lasting impression on me and my art work.

I was hoping to connect with old friends and perhaps make some new ones!

I carpooled up with Lani Asher and Stanley Somers, both visual artists and classmates.

Lani was also my roommate when I lived in "downtown" Santa Barbara.

The mustard was in full force on the 101 after we got north of Ventura

I'm so glad that I went! I had a great time!
