Friday Night Lights

After a break of five weeks, we finally had another home high school football game last night.  And because The Girl had finished her last Two-A-Day practices just a half hour before I wanted to leave to get seats, she chose not to come, but to rest and veg out.  Can't say that I blame her.  So I headed up the hill and met with my football game friends for a fun and worth-every-penny-of-my-$5-admission evening.

I think I have more fun at these games now than I did as a high school student.  Most of that feeling comes from the people I sit with during a game.  Most enjoyable, I must say.  They are PTA friends, football parents, HS alumni, church friends and community neighbors.

Plus it is fun to watch the kids I know from town as they experience the "see and be seen" attitude that is Friday night high school football games.  They crack me up.  I don't think we were ever as fun as students as the kids today are.  But I am certainly more obnoxious an adult than the adults were when I was in school too.  Everything evens out in the end.

Our boys in blue won last night by the way...with no help from the referees.  Final score: 14-10.
