Another Squad vacation ends

Well, OK, it wasn't really a vacation since Jen and I were sleeping in our own bed. But it was still good to see some of the usual suspects.

It was a typical reunion. Lots of laughter and love with some beer and pizza for good measure.

Highlights of the three-day weekend included:

• Peppas rolling into town with a keg of Yuengling (the best American beer you'll ever taste) for the party and several cases to tide us over for a few months.

• Brown's laughter turning into a wheezing fit.

• Dr. Kevin (Sacramento's top-rated relationship expert who is on air from 4-7 p.m.) telling our waitress from Varsity she should dump her boyfriend, and giving solid reasons why she should.

• Watching somebody struggle through a fierce hangover on Saturday.

• The hilarity of CZ's dad and uncle at the shower on Saturday night.

• Staying up late so I could be sure to wake Sean up off the couch, so he could wake Tammy up so she could be at the Tulsa airport by 6 a.m. on Sunday

• The surprise baby shower at Calico County.

• Nash being the first out and me second out in an impromptu poker tournament Sunday night, while Peppito and Mrs. Nash split the $80 pot.

• Sitting up with Brownie and Kevin until 3 a.m. on Sunday night/Monday morning, at which point they and Samantha left for the Tulsa airport. Good talk, fellas. Good talk.

Wish the Martins could have made it. Wish SK could have made it as well. Maybe next time we'll be able to get everybody together.
