Lives Lived Out Loud
Brother-in-law Bob came to town for a day of hiking, eating pizza, and drinking beer. We took him out to Lake Chabot, where we hiked six or so miles. After stopping in one of the campgrounds to eat some Togos sandwiches, we did a little bit of butt model auditioning.
This was a twist on THE PLAHHHHHHHHN. Stretching the glutes and hamstrings and sending a message. This ass is NOT going to get kicked on Mt. Whitney.
This ride is one of our must-do events every year. I love it because of the beautiful back roads through vineyards and stands of redwoods, but most of all, something memorable ALWAYS seems to happen. This year’s Wine Country will be remembered for Linda S. getting lost before the lunch stop, Dave searching the lunch stop outhouse for his wedding band, and Lora M. nearly biting Bev when taking a fig bar with her teeth, Most of all, though, I’ll remember it for what I learned.
1. Bev has a second career as an advertising creative, cemented when she gave Nabisco its new tagline for Oreo cookies: “They make you happy on both ends”, referring to their propensity to make you go poop.
2. It’s possible to cut your finger on the edge of a plastic outhouse urinal. How improbable that it would be Lora who discovered this.
3. Marsha carries an earthquake safety kit in her bike’s Bento Box.
