Quiet Saturday Night

What’s going on tonight? Dinner with the family, date night with your hottie, or maybe even someone else’s hottie, NFL playoffs, another sports game, and the options are endless. Saturday night is the night to unwind. I’ve seen a lot lately about old high school stuff. Friday and Saturday nights were let your hair down nights. No school, parties to find, parking lots to loiter in, and girls to try to pick up. We get older and those things change.


For some of us, high school was a long time ago, but those memories, as foggy as they may be, can pop up. A lot of the places don’t even exist anymore, we can afford to buy better beverages, and staying out that late, for most of us, isn’t appealing at all. Don’t get me wrong, those times were great and the people who made them great haven’t completely disappeared from the mind. Time moves on, hangovers hurt more than they used to, and Saturday nights look a little different for most.

To be honest, I didn’t really know what I wanted to write about tonight. It was a standard Saturday, killing a little time at the barn while completing a few tasks before feeding to come home again. Except, tonight, the same group of girls that were at the barn riding, training, having fun, and trail riding have somehow ended up at my little domicile. I find myself locked away in my room, doing this and watching less than stellar television. There is supercross on, but I have decided to tape it, so we can watch it as a family tomorrow night. Oh, how times have changed. The girls are doing what girls do. Phones and television going at the same time. They have big plans and know that I have big plans for the morning. As long as we all end up on the same page, I say, have at it.


The television shows aren’t getting any better and I just don’t want to write anymore. Have a great night, enjoy your family, kiss the one’s you love, and for God’s sake; stop posting stuff to remind us how old we all are. Pretty soon we will be eating dinner at 4:30 and offering traveling salesmen drinks at our door at 10:30 in the morning. Enjoy your youth while you can.
