Friday Night Lights

Oh well, it was actually Saturday night lights.

My kids participated in the high school band program for 11 years. For 11 years I went to high school football games to support my kids, their school and all the kids who were participating. A few months ago, my youngest son graduated from high school and I was secretly rejoicing that I would never have to attend a high school football game again.

I am glad I did not engrave my thoughts into stone because I found myself alone on Saturday night with an invite to go the first game of the high school football season with friends. I heard myself saying "yes" before I had really even given it any thought.

The high school team was invited to play in the brand spankin' remodeled University of Washington football stadium which was a nice treat. All and all, it was a fun evening spent with friends but probably the last high school football game that I will attend. But, I won't place a bet on it.
