Good Night

It's date night tonight for Mr. and Mrs. Austin. And, even though there is another couple involved here, this could be as close as is gets to a real date. In other words, it doesn't involve golf, basketball, a bonfire, stock cars, a movie rental or an Olympic sled hill. Although, we do enjoy all that.

After work, we're heading with our friends to Green Bay for dinner and an evening at the theater. Oooh-la-la!

I guess I sort of lied when I said sports were not involved. We are seeing a one-man play called Runt of the Litter about a former football player who was playing for the Houston Oilers the same time his "big" brother played for another team.

The Web site, www.runtofthelitter.com, had this to say: Bo Eason, former NFL star player turned star of his own one-man show, "Runt of the Litter," inspires audiences to make their dreams a reality. His unforgettable story is living proof that with enough determination, nothing can prevail over the human spirit.

Sounds like it should be a good show. We'll spend the night at our friends' near Green Bay then head home tomorrow. Carter will spend the night at Grandpa and Grandma Austin's tonight and, unlike us, his night likely will involve basketball and perhaps a movie.

Looks like we'll ALL have a good night.
