The Friday before last we went to E’s high school for a basketball game since the school band plays before and during the game. I wasn’t particularly looking forward to it since I’m not into sports, but it was surprisingly fun! The home team is really good and beat the visiting team by 30 points. The game definitely kept my attention which isn’t easy when it comes to sports. I was telling Joe that if forced to watch sports, the least boring ones are hockey, then basketball. I then proceeded to name a ton of other sports, including golf and curling, and then ended the list with football just to annoy him since he loves football. Honestly, I don’t mind it being on in the house but there’s no way I’m going to sit down and watch a game start to finish. I won’t even do that for hockey! I’ll go to a game, though.
When we entered the gym where the game was being held, Joe’s ex’s parents were in the stands and waved to us, so we went and sat with them. They are nice people and have always been friendly to me which I appreciate. I’ve spoken to them more over the years than his ex, in fact!
The following evening we ended up going to a local restaurant where Joe’s old friend from high school was playing drums with his band. It didn’t start until 9:30 pm which for us is nearly past our bedtime so it was weird to be going out so late. It was literally two stoplights from the house, though, so that helped. We ended up having a super late dinner listening to them play for an hour and a half. It was something different and I enjoyed it even though the music they played wasn’t my favorite (oldies).
