SATURDAY AFTERNOON

It is bitterly cold outside today 36 degrees with a strong wind. I did my mile walk early today and did and errand or two. I Am home now warm and comfortable with no plans to go out for this evening. When I was much younger Saturdays were always fun when I was in highschool. Saturday afternoons were spent with a friend or two in the town pool hall playing 8 ball and 9 ball for quarters to the winner. Then if I was lucky at pool I would make enough money to go to the Saturday night dance in town, which was only a dollar. If I was very lucky at pool I made enough to pay for a pretty Canadian girl’s admission to dance the night with. It was a common practice for girls to wait for guys to buy their way in. This was the late 60s when money was tight especially for high school kids. Since those days life has moved on and gotten less fun and far more expensive. I still enjoy Saturday Nights in the comfort of my own home. I make my special broiled chicken wings with Mexican Rice and of course a special drink or two and settle down with a great Movie, I prefer the classic westerns. Tonight I think I’ll watch The Alamo with John Wayne as Davy Crocket, and Robin of Sherwood with Errol Flynn as Robin Hood. These and many more classics are available for free on TUBI if you have a Roku TV. I hope all have a good afternoon and evening as I leave you with a few good food and entertainment suggestions.
