Dating my wife

by

I love going out on dates with my wife…mostly because she’s a trophy wife. I always feel like people can’t believe this old bald guy is out with the fine piece of ass beautiful young woman. It does my geriatric heart good. And, we have fun. We date well.

But, damn it is hard to make it happen. I have friends with kids that seem to be out all the time. I have no idea how they do it…sans kids.

Now, honestly, I was never a social butterfly. I worked all these amazing professional shows in Atlanta and maybe went to 2 opening nights in 7 years. One of them was a Disney show, so I hung out with Tim Rice and Elton John…ok, we were in the same room. But that really was it. I never felt the need to go out all the time.

My wife, on the other hand, has had a harder time assimilating to married with children. So we try, between work and our own obligations, to date.

But once we threw in a toddler, the dating has definitely slowed down…and the economic down turn…don’t get me started.

But tonight, after asking people all over north Alabama, we have a Baby Sitter. Now, this happens to be the best babysitting team ever…Sarah’s folks. So Sarah and I get to go see a local production of “Sweeny Todd” with a great cast and crew while the grand folks get to listen to Tony snore. Sounds like an even trade.

I hope they know how much we appreciate it.
