anniversary

It's our anniversary so we're going out on the town tonight. I'm a little concerned about how old we're getting. We've got tickets to a show that starts at 7:00. Working backwards from that time, we have to pick up our tickets at 6:30. There is a bit of travel time between locations of the restaurant and the show, so we are going to eat at 5:00.  That means Dave needs to be home and ready by 4:30. Something just seems wrong with that.  Being ready to go on a date at 4:30 reeks of "Early Bird Senior Citizen's Blue Plate Special". Also, there is the fact that we will probably be home by 9:30. Sad.
The other issue with us going out is that our kids usually start acting fishy as we are preparing to leave - "Have fun and DON'T HURRY HOME!"  I don't know what goes on when we're gone.  Maybe that is for the best. 

I have been married 27 years today. Dave has been in my life longer than he has not been in my life. That is a good thing.  He is a good man. I kind of like him.
