Finally. I understand.
I went to work yesterday and had low expectations of the weekend. Then I get a call from my friend Paige, who works in the Walnut Creek office of American Express Financial Advisors. She invited me to a Cal Rugby game. She'd invited me before, but somehow I never had any interest. Then, yesterday, I figured, why not?
It turned into a great afternoon and evening of fun. The rugby game was brutal and intense - how do guys at 6'4" and 250 lbs. run that fricking fast? Plus I was temporarily brought back to college with the volleys of drunken college kids screaming, the bevvy of brainless and brilliant tanned, tank top clad maidens, and the sunshine pouring from the sky. The game was followed by a trek through the Cal campus, past Memorial Stadium and including the purchase of a Cal tennis shirt and a Jamba Juice (which on a hot day was fantastic!). Sitting on the steps of the Cal campus and sipping a cold razz-ma-tazz. yeppers.
After hanging out at Paige's place with her friends, we kicked it at my friend Mark's bbq. Had a badass burger and a beer brat, plus some al-key-hall. Met his girlfriend Jane, who was bloody smoking, and her friends, who were equally hot. Came home and concluded a good night.
how's that for a good weekend?
