To kick off last weekend - my older brother, Matt’s, bachelor party weekend - I had Thursday off from work and drove up to my moms house in Antioch. Antioch is in the east Bay Area of San Francisco near the delta. I prefer the drive because it seems every time I arrange to fly from LAX to SFO or OAK there are major delays- as those are the lowest priority flights for major airlines- and I always feel like crap. Driving suits me just fine, five and a half hours of my own music and the open road actually puts me in a great mood. So I arrived during what would be afternoon rush hour but fortunately it’s all farm roads for the last hour to get there and traffic never an issue. I got to business by allowing the dogs, Sasha and Rusty attack me, then I went to men’s wearhouse to get my suit for the wedding properly tailored. Once that was out of the way my mom insisted on supplying us with a little extra brewski for the weekend bachelor party up in Lake Tahoe.
