The New Friday Night


Time: A Friday night one year ago

Matt to Jim/Kurt/Brigid: You up to anything tonight? Want to go out and get a few beers?
Jim/Kurt/Brigid: Sure, we'll meet you at (name a Milwaukee bar) around 9.

Fast-Forward 1 year

Matt arrives home from work, looking completely exhausted, puts on his sweats, and curls up on the couch with the remote and possibly Steve.

Angie grabs the grocery list and canvas grocery bags and heads to the store (where she happened to walk off without the 12-pack of soda she paid for. Grrr.).

Dinner follows the grocery store trip (something oh-so-exciting like cheeseburgers and almost-burnt waffle fries).

Angie then curls up in the recliner with Steve for another feeding, and the three of us proceed to power through the 20 shows that have been saved on the DVR for about 2 weeks.

Man, has life ever changed.
