One of my closest friends, Stephen, was visiting family in Sac and we hooked up for about an hour on Friday... kicking the ball around with this sister Sharon, cousin Sarah and brother Chris (who, with the silver aviators on, looks amazingly like either Gregg Allman or some other 70's badass rocker I can't pinpoint at the moment). Pretty jazzed about being closer to Squid on the east coast.
Saturday I was invited to my second cousin Zach's 9th birthday party at Incredible John's Magic Pizza Kingdom, or something
the musgrave's
. A bigger, better Chuck E Cheese for the millenials. Kids at the pizza buffet was something like ants in water. I wish I had my camera with me - I ate taco piza (refried beans instead of tomato sauce) and peanut butter pepperoni. Nasty. Kids these days, geesh. I hadn't seen Zach or his older brother Trevor in probably 8 years. Trevor made an impact - I've never met a kinder, more giving 12 year old in my life. Just a great kid. AND he talked mad shit while we were waiting in line for the bumper cars. I was forced to crucify him into the rails several times.So, back to the drive to Tahoe. One of the benefits of taking Highway 50, as opposed to the Interstate, is that I get to actually see the towns I'm blazing by. Most of you have probably done this drive so you know, it's proper. A two lane mountain road climbing through the heart of the Sierra Nevada foothills... many of the small towns straddle the highway and seem caught in a time warp, still slumbering in a gold-rush dream of the 1850s.
We checked in to a very cool B&B just down the street from Heavenly. Plenty of space for Kaya to run around. Also noticed that Kenny Loggins is playing Harrah's.

LOGGINS
Matt if you miss Kenny Loggins at Harrah's you might as well slap a nun in the face, my friend, because that's an opportunity missed. I don't even think that analogy works, but I'm using it anyway, because that's how important this is. I can imagine you sitting at a dingy Reno bar, 5-cent video poker, coors light draft, danger zone in the background. God i wish i could be there with you, that's the truth...
