One sunny weekend, I got on my Yamaha 500 and headed to Santa Cruz from my home in Long Beach. I heard a while back that Neil Young had a ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I had a recurring dream about running into Neil Young and Daryl Hannah strolling a random street. In the dream, I brought the album Harvest for Neil Young to autograph. We started talking, and I discovered we had much in common, especially our love of miniature trains and taking long walks in nature. We hit it off so well that Daryl asked, "Why don't you come to the ranch for dinner?"
