I remember a time in my life when I went "out" about 10 times a month. I would dress to make an impression and quite frankly, I did. I would wine and dine at only the very nicest establishments, no franchises for me. My evening, on the rare occasion I ended up having to pay my own bill, would cost me about $200.
Tonight I am going "out". It is a bit different this time. I am going to wear a track suit and hit a small town bar. There will be a lot of local rancher/farmer types. I am sure I will have to pay my own bill which I am assuming will come to about $30.
I am going with a friend of mine that I have known for 13 or 14 years. We have seldom been "out" together. But tonight is all about girl gossip. Her life has recently taken a pretty dramatic turn. For years she would ask about my encounters when I went out, now she gets to tell me some of hers.
It's a weird night. The scene is set if you will. It is rainy and grey and the world is topsy turvy. I have traded in the $300 outfit and the $200 bar bill for farmers and chicken wings. And I'm not the one with the juicy stories.
Like I said, it's a weird night. Maybe I will have a story to tell when I get home, I'll keep you posted.

can't be nearly as exciting as the testicle festival. Not one of the 200 nights for sure but hey, we didn't have to pay our own bill! Nice to hear you are getting out with friends again. Maybe one of these days we can hit a small town bar, or my deck and catch up.
ReplyDeleteLife is change. Being happy with life is the ability to embrace change. Have fun. If you still want them, I'm sure many more $200 nights await in your future.
