Weekends were made for good times...
Weekends are rad, and my weekends always start on Friday night...my Friday started getting rad at about lunchtime, when I indulged in something from 7-11 other than a pre-made sammich...

Bean and Cheese goodness for $1.98? Yes please!!
The evening found us at University Chicken, (formerly Cluck-U Chicken), where I had the chicken strips at "Traditional Death" as opposed to "Global Thermo Nuclear" hot - but even with a $5 Pabst to wash it down, it was still too spicy - i'm getting old...I got no sleep Friday night...(that, and the chicken itself was cold and the beer was flat) However, the evening was saved by the skinny kid who put Slayer on the jukebox and proceeded to ignore his girlfriend whilst playing the air guitar. Unfortunately, I was too much in awe to get a picture...
Saturday's are adventure days, and what I love best is to find the trails and hidden-away bits of nature the Bay Area likes to hide...our chosen adventure was smack dab in downtown Campbell, the Los Gatos trail...
We traversed for a good hour and a half...that trail goes on and on, and it's an interesting juxtaposition of walking along and at some points having the freeway and the cars rushing past you...
Those cars reminded of the sad state of affairs...I haven't put gas in my car for three weeks, and I experienced some sticker shock...

You've GOT to be kidding...luckily, I was just passing by, and not buying that day...hopefully I won't be putting gas in my car for a long time to come....
It's good to know there are people out there who believe as I do....
Saturday evening found me visiting the parent's house....

You know you've got the best mom in the world when she indulges your penchant for pre-made sammiches and classes it up with an ice cold martini.
Heading back home, I was reminded of why I love the Bay Area...
Mountain View is definitely my favorite place to call home. We'll see what Sunday brings...
