Dream A Little Dream ...

10/11/02 -  All dressed up ... and no place to go. Well, that’s not really true, I always have a couple of places to go. As long as it’s not “Kid’s Night,” I can go to the Pub and
be entertained and amused by the regulars. Oh, some nights are better than others, music wise, that is. But, the comradeship is always good. The Pub definitely beats going to the movies alone, or hanging out at Barnes and Noble till closing time.

Last Saturday I chose to dress up. I had a place to go. Ace was scheduled to play at the Pub. Lady D and I have a little tradition of dressing up on Ace nights. It’s probably because Ace, himself, always dresses to the nines. And frankly, if it wasn’t for Ace nights, I’d not get to dress up at all. I bought this dress way back at the beginning of the year. It was on sale, it was way cheap. My mother was a big bargain shopper she used to come home full of bargains saying they were almost giving the stuff away. That’s how I got this dress, a real bargain. Anyway, when I bought it I thought for sure something would come up and this dress would be perfect. Nope, nothing came up. With the weather holding up so nicely, I decided it was probably going to be my last chance with this dress, now or never? I’m happy to say the dress passed the wearability test. It was comfortable! I think I’ll keep it ... never say never.

It’s sketchy how this weekend is going to pan out at the Pub. Both nights are billed as “modern rock.” If those darn kids take over, I may just have to use my back up plan, which is usually to stay home. That works once in a while. For those nights at home ... I don’t have to dress at all.
