Title: California Dreaming
Post by: Dr. Blackheart on November 26, 2013, 10:48:45 AM
Starting the Wooden Legacy thread so we can post our observations/pictures from Chico's crib and the various tournament venues and activities.  First, a mood setter:

Here is the family at Lake Havasu on our way to Chico's.  Are the Disney Hopper passes ready?  Is the wireless code still:  hoopaloop123?  Remember, don't slot our camper in front of the Keefe's on your driveway and block our Winnebago in.  I have plenty of Natty Light and Muscatel for the backyard BBQ reception.

Just wanted to wish you all good luck out in the tournament and hopefully we play each other (in the championship game). Its not going to be easy staying up for the 10 pm game but i'll have a nice little rest on my engorged stomach for beer and leftover turkey. Should be some good games and we'll get revenge on ASU for you.

Manning up for the flight to Orange County. Chico, I filed for a VFR approach at MCAS El Toro. Are you sending a crew van to pick me up? I am hauling a sh1tload of Cohibas and Islay single malt.

El Toro....there's a blast from the past.  You'd be better off coming into Joint Forces Airbase Los Alamitos, closer to mi casa (especially since El Toro is closed now).   ;)

The Mamas and the Papas would have never gotten a record deal these days.  The label would have said, "Lose the fat chick and we'll talk."  Or they would have pulled Michelle Phillips out as a solo artist and autotuned her voice.

okonomiyaki

How the hell does a Gaijin in Illinois know about this Kansai specialty?? I didn't know okonomiyaki was all that popular outside of Japan. I grew up in Tokyo where the more common version is monjayaki.

One hint for authenticity: Always make sure they are using Yama Imo as the binding agent rather than potato. It makes a big difference in taste and texture.

My kids ride their bikes to Knotts every once in awhile.  Season passes there do not cost a mortgage payment like Disneyland.

I may be there tomorrow for about an hour...first hour of game.  We'll see.  Still negotiating with the wife.

If we win, will be there late for game 2 on Friday.  If we lose tomorrow, will be there for entirety of game 2 on Friday. 

My son has a soccer tournament Fri-Sunday and that is playing havoc with some of the times for me.
