The ticket stub from a visit to Vicenza, Italy in the 1980s. While there are clear memories of touring the Teatro Olimpico (said to be the oldest indoor theater in Europe), it's still not clear if we also visited the Villa La Rotunda - pictured here on the ticket stub.

Birthday "Cake"
My birthday "cake" was actually an apple fritter muffin from Brass Bird, purchased to go and enjoyed at home. It was actually quite good and very much in line with my taste and life philosophy. Wishes were maximized while calories were minimized.

As fans of the Brass Bird in Carpinteria, we were curious to check out the one in Santa Barbara. Here's the deal: while food, service and design are every bit as good, the location is problematic and parking quite limited. We never had a problem parking in Carpinteria. This one was crazy busy at lunch time despite being a weekday.
