part of my weekend was spent with the brockway-huegel clan in concord. i headed out there on friday after work and came back saturday evening. i always have a great time when i visit them. scott & heather open up their home to me as if i was family. in a sense, they are a part of my extended family and i've very grateful to have them in my life. the two of them are doing a wonderful job raising their boys and i'm very lucky to be a part of it. it's really great to see scott in action with the boys. the fact that we went to high school and are still a part of each others lives is truly amazing. we spent friday night simply sitting around talking and drinking. who could of asked for anything more.

on saturday morning, i awoke to lachlin poking me to tell me that the pancake breakfast was ready. it wasn't. scott & heather were still sleeping and i was on to his game. he ended up climbing in bed with me and we had a little chat. he sang a song about some kind of bunny pie, we talked about superheroes, and he asked why i had hippos on my pajamas. the last time i visited i gave the boys two "challenge of the superfriends" dvd. apparently, it has become a favorite of the boys. lachlin seems to be a fan of the green lantern & riddler while finn favors batman & robin. a boy after my own heart for as we all know robin is one of my favorites. i think i managed to watch all eight episodes with them and some of them even twice.

the afternoon was spent taking a mini-stroll at castle rock which i like to call castle greyskull. we never did quite make to the castle rocks but that wasn't the point. it was all about just hanging out together. during our outing we happened upon a tarantula. i had never seen on in the wild before so it was pretty exciting. the boys seemed pretty impressed by it too. after lunch we drove to the top of mount diablo. it was another first for me. it was pretty cold at the top of the mountain. the view from the top was simply amazing. i could see twins peaks & the golden gate bridge. we even managed to see some hand gliders. i can always count on the brockway-huegels for getting me out into nature. it's sort of becoming our thing & i like that. just where will i end up next is any one's guess.

stay gold & be well…
