Friday night used to mean heading to the bar, shooting pool, or clubbin' downtown. 

I'm in the grocery store, shuffling coupons and looking for the clearance rack.....

There's laundry to deal with when I get home. Then I'll microwave a burrito and probably fall asleep on the couch....

What happened ? I want my old life back, right after my nap.....

You've misunderstood. This is the old life.

I'm with you - legendary drinking and parties then we grew up.  Friday nights was car stuff and we headed to the south side of the Chicago area - Dukes Drive In (Burbank, IL) - always a trip. 

Tonight I might put down some grass seed in a few bare spots.

Adulting sucks.

Wife is showing her car both days this weekend. I will probably share pics at least.

This is the fourth week of OT in a row and two of those were more than 12 hour days. Meh!

Man, I had soup for lunch. In Florida. In May. 

 

I am no longer fun.

Was a time I used to go out and catch a show, roll a few frames, play a bar gig, boulder... pretty much every week. Sometimes twice. 
 

These days, I just want to sit down with the Mrs. Watch some sci-fi , and eat something that won't give the trots. 
 

Tonight we're 300 miles from home, in a house with 8 adults and 11 kids and two dogs. There will be no quiet, and likely no rest. 
 

I want my sci-fi.

Rocket launch at 10:37, my wife just told me. 

I don’t think I’ll make it that long, I replied.

Oh, wait, I thought that was sexual code or a double meaning then I realized you're all Florida people and they do launch rockets down there.
