Friday Nights

Our usual routine on Friday night is pizza and a movie.  The kids look forward to it, and I have to admit I too relish the "nothingness" of Friday evenings.  Tonight however, was a different story.  We left Anna's office and spontaneously decided to stop into a bar/restaurant right near her office and get dinner.  They are famous for their French fries.  We had no idea that it would be so empty at this early dinner hour, and that there would be two bright orange pool tables beckoning.  So - with a large order of fries, chicken tenders, and some burgers on the way, we proceeded to play some pool.   Or at least the kids did.  Their joy at just shooting the white ball into a pocket (for free I might add!) was just as big as shooting all the other balls into the pockets, striped and solids alike.  We are home now and YES, we are watching a movie.  Or should I say - they are watching a movie and I am typing this.
