Well, a certainly pixie mentioned to me that Club 33 may have a few memberships available! Great news!
For those who will be receiving membership invitations, you have my utmost congratulations. Enjoy your membership and think of good ol' Dr. Lee every time you pass the bar or order a drink! I spent a lot of years in the club and cherish every day I was there.

Jabba the Hutt Tree!
Hi Lee!
Well, I don't know if you're a Star Wars fan, but whoever sculpted the base of the Tarzan Tree located at the East side of the Pirates bridge must have been! Wow! He blended Jabba's face into the base of that tree so well, it's simply amazing.
I think what it most amazing, it that most guests have never noticed it. While it is difficult to see in the photo, it is quite prominent in real life. Even is tail can be seen above his head. There are simply too many details to been accidental or random! Simply incredible!
Enjoy!

Colorado Lamb Chops!
If you think the picture looks good, wait until you sink your teeth into these! Wow!!!
Curt behind the bar!
Oh yes, Dr. Lee has an arch nemesis! With Dr. Lee retired it seems the Club 33 veteran, Curt, appears to be assimilating the roll of "Bartender To The Stars!" He looks right at home with that bottle of Grey Goose Vodka and martini glass! Seriously though, Curt and Lee have been friends for over two decades, both working in the Club side by side.
Dr. Lee's former work location!
Dr. Lee's old stomping ground, the famous Club 33 bar! Something seems to be missing??? Oh yes, it's Dr. Lee!

Bar Humor Panda Style!
A panda walks into a bar, sits down, eats some peanuts, pulls out a gun, shoots the bartender then walks out! The other bartender calls police. The policeman walks in and the confused bartender says "Hey, that panda came in here, ate some peanuts and then shot my associate! You have to do something!"
Policeman says, "Sorry pal, we can't help you on this one."
Bartender gets angry and demands they take action.
Policeman says "Look buddy, go in your office, look up 'pandas' and you'll understand."
Extremely angry, the bartender runs into his office, grabs a dictionary and finds the following:
"Panda: Eats shoots and leaves"
Policeman says, "Sorry pal, we can't help you on this one."

TASTING WINE ,THE RIGHT WAY
FIRST,HOW TO LOOK AT WINE
PROPER LIGHTING IS ESSENTIAL WHEN EVALUATING A WINE'S COLOR.
THE BEST ANGLE FOR VEIWING WINE IS FROM ABOVE LOOKING DOWNWARD AT A SLIGHT ANGLE. A WHITE BACKGROUND IS RECOMMENDED BECAUSE ANY COLOR BEHIND THE WINE YOU ARE VEIWING WILL INFLUENCE YOUR IMPRESSION OF THAT WINE.LOOK FOR A CLEAR,BRILLIANT APPEARANCE AS THIS IS A STRONG INDICATION OF GOOD WINE-MAKING, ST0RAGE AND SHIPPING.
SECOND,SWIRLING WINE
THE REASON WE SWIRL,IS TO AERATE THE WINE. AERATING HELPS A WINE RELEASE ITS AROMA OR, BOUQUET. HOLD THE GLASS BY THE STEM AND GENTLY MAKE SMALL, CIRCULAR MOTIONS. YOU SHOULD NOTICE THE WINE MOVING UP AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE GLASS IN A CONTINUOUS WAVE. FIVE SECONDS OF SWIRLING IS ENOUGH, THUOUGH YOUNG WINES TEND TO BE MORE "CLOSED-UP" AND BENEFIT WITH A BIT MORE.
THIRD,SMELLING THE WINE
MILLIONS OF HAIR-LIKE RECEPTORS FOUND INSIDE THE NOSE DETECT ODOR PARTICLES. MORE THAN 60 PERCENT OF HOW I JUDGE A WINE IS BASED ON A WINES AROMA. SMELLING IS DONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER SWIRLING. BRING THE RIM OF TRHE GLASS TO ONE OR TWO INCHES BELOW YOUR NOSE. YOUR INHALE SHOULD BE EASY,CONSISTENT, AND COMFORTABLE. WHAT DO YOU SMELL? DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SMELL? USE ANY WORDS THAT YOU FEEL ACCURATELY DESCRIBE THE WINE. DOES THE WINE SMELL OLD, FRUITY,WOODY OR SWEET? IS THE AROMA SMOKEY OR TOASTY? IF THE WINE SMELLS FRUITY, WHAT FRUIT DOES IT REMIND YOU OF? IF MAY BE APPLES,BANANES,CHERRIES,STRAWBERRIES,OR BLACK CURRANT. AFTER A WHILE YOU MAY BEGIN TO NOTICE SIMILARITIES WITH CERTIAN WINE TYPES,AND THAT IS WHEN YOU WILL START TO BECOME A WINE TASTER.YOU MAY DISCOVER CHARDONNAYS HAVE A SCENT OF APPLE,OR CABERNET SAUVIGNONS HAVE SIMILAR SCENTS OF CHERRIES.
FORTH,TASTING
OUR TASTE BUDS ARE TINY RECEPTORS GROUPED ON THE TONGUE THAT RESPONDS TO ONE OF THE FOUR BASIC TASTES:SWEET,SOUR,BITTER,AND SALTY. THERE ARE NO COMMERCIAL WINES THAT TASTE SALTY, SO, THERE ARE ONLY THREE TASTE SENSATIONS WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON. IT IS THE PORPER COMBINATION OF SWEET,SOUR,AND BITTER THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR WHEN TASTING WINE. WHEN THESE TASTE ARE IN HARMONY,WE HAVE A BALANCED WINE. TASTING ALSO PROVIDES INFORMATION ABOUT THE BODY OF A WINE.BODY, IS THE WEIGHT OF THE WINE IN YOUR MOUTH. IF YOU THINK OF SKIM MILK AS LIGHT BODY,WHOLE MILK AS MEDIUM BODY AND HALF AND HALF AS FULL BODY YOU SHOULD GET THE PICTURE.
RISE THE WINE GLASS SO THAT THE WINE SLOWLY ENTERS YOUR MOUTH.(APPROXIMATELY HALF AN OUNCE IS FINE.)
NOW BRING YOUR LIPS INTO A SMALL CIRCLE AND, KEEPING THE WINE STILL, WITH YOUR HEAD TILTED SLIGHTLYDOWNWARD,SLOWLY DRAW SOME AIR IN THROUGH YOUR LIPS FOR A FEW SECONDS. YOU SHOULD BEGIN TO A HEAR A GURGLING SOUND AND FEEL A SLIGHT MOTION OF THE WINE IN THE FRONT OF YOUR MONTH.NOW BREATHE JUST THE AIR IN,BREATHE JUST THE AIR OUT THEN SWALLOW.WHEN YOU DO THIS, YOU ARE ACTUALLY AERATING THE WINE AND HELPING IT RELEASE ITS FLAVORS.
FIFTH,SAVORING/SWALLOWING THE WINE
WHEN WE SWALLOW,WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE WINE'S FINISH. THE FINISH OF A WINE IS THE FLAVOR AND THE LENGTH OF TIME WE TASTE THAT FLAVOR ONCE IT HAS BEEN SWALLOWED. A WINE'S FINISH IS CALLED EITHER SHORT, MEDIUM OR LONG. WHICHEVER CATEGORY A WINE'S FINISH FALLS INTO,THAT FINISH SHOULD ALWAYS BE PLEASANT-AFTER ALL,A PLEASANT WINE MEANS WE HAVE ALL BEEN "DRINKING WELL."

Greetings to Dr. Lee!
My family and I had the pleasure to dine at Mr. Stox Restaurant with Dr. Lee Friday evening. We ordered four chicken dinners. This was our first time to dine at Mr. Stox. Doc said it was good, he was right! Better than the food was getting to visit with Dr. Lee, reminiscing about old times at Club 33 and all the good times we've shared. I sincerely hope he moves back down to southern California as he is dearly missed by all! Dr. Lee is a beautiful person, very friendly, down to earth, warm and caring. Until our next dinner together, Doc, the pleasure is all mine!

DUI WHY License Plate!
This is my famous DUI WHY license plate! About 5 years ago as I was driving home from work late one nite,there was this car weaving on the freeway. My first thought was "WHY", why was this person doing this. The next day I was at D.M.V. to register my car,there was this sign showing how easy it was to get a personnal plate. Still thinking about this drunk driver from the nite before,I filled out this form for my reguest,"DUI WHY". With over thousands of possilbe combinations on personnal plates,my thought was,"IT HAS TO BE TAKEN". To my surprise,it was all my,nice. Appox. 6 weeks later,it was on my car and the rest is history. So remember,"DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE".............DR LEE
