A thought came over me as I was stepping into a restaurant over the weekend.

I thought back to being a youngster, maybe still in elementary school. My folks would on occasion go out with their friends on a weekend night and leave us kids at home. For me, those were kind of special times, because we would just spend the whole night lying on the couch watching TV. Dinner was usually food prepared and left by mom. Sunday night were particularly special since I got to spend the 6pm - 7pm hour with the Wonderful world of Disney. In the later years, dinner came from costco - sometimes Chunky's, sometimes frozen pizza. Don't feel bad, I liked that stuff!

Anyway, just thinking about the feeling of being home unsupervised for a night kind of made me nostalgic.
