(note from next morning… As I say at the bottom.. I dictated this post into Siri on my iPhone and it typed it.. upon reading it this morning.. it does seem more stream of consciousness than usual .. ain’t technology great ?!)

Tonight was a tradition about 10 of us met at the daily planet for an dads night out weve been meeting there for either 19 or 20 years none of us can actually remember the original thought was that we would go shopping for our wives but mostly now we just sit and eat and drink mostly drink its a great tradition and it was really great being there with the same guys knowing that we been there for nearly 2 decades weve been through a whole lot of stuff together all of us review chatter ups and downs in our kids are grown up some of gotten married some of died we have lots of stories about harassing waitresses and then going out and harassing shop clerks but its all good for tonight afterwards some of us went out and pretended to shop but were really there just for hanging out it was a great night I bought a few things but mostly just bonded with my buds the Christmas spirit was actually with me tonight and I enjoyed walking around and seeing the lights and seeing the shoppers lots of clueless guys like me I felt I felt happy it felt weird being happy but its all good we already planned for the event next year same place same time alright thats it for tonight

night all night Sam
