Date night . . .

OK...so I say to hubby. It's date night tonight! He say's, "So what are we doing?" "We are going out to dinner then to the theatre"..."What? What theatre??" he says, "We are going to the high school and see their production of Fiddler on the Roof". "Alright....wouldn't your mom really like to go to that?" he says sheepishly, "Why do you say that? It ends too late for her, it starts at 8pm and it gets over around 10:45pm"..."OK" he says ....So we are off....We head out for a dinner at the local sports bar, find a parking place, the place is PACKED! Everybody watching college basketball, no seats, 30 minute wait, forget that, so we head to a local Mexican restaurant that we like and order. Great service, food and atmosphere.. except for the fact that it is a Mexican restaurant and they are playing rap music in the bar. What's up with that? Then we head to the high school. The high school drama department always does a great job with their productions of spring musicals. Over the years they have performed Grease, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Sound of Music, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and many more. Lots of kids try out for the plays and usually over 100 kids total are involved somehow in its production. So anyway, we take our seats and the lights dim, the play begins. I am really enjoying the music, dancing, great costumes and I recognize alot of the students that come through our office as athletes who are participating as actors. I turn to point out something to hubby about one of the kids and he is asleep!@!!!! Yes, asleep!!! Not yet snoring but completely asleep. How can he sleep with all the dancing, singing, band/orchestra playing, etc?? But there it is ...he's out. We are only into the 2nd act and there are 3 more to go. So I let him be, he was a sport to come. Plays aren't his thing, but it is date night and so it's about being together. I suppose next date night we will be shooting pool or something along that line. I'll try not to fall asleep!
