A Night to Remember

I escorted a special gal to a formal affair last night. Pamela asked me to take her to Lancaster Christian School's High School Winter Formal. It was held in the Sky Box at the Clipper Stadium in Lancaster City. So, from our table we could look out over the baseball field. What is special about that is the outdoor ice skating rink that they set up in right field. So we watched the skaters skate in the icy drizzle while we ate in our formal attire.

Pamela looked beautiful in a long formal dress with her hair all whoop-de-dooed. I merely tried to minimize my own ugliness so as not to be distracting. We sat at a table with one other father/daughter couple and a few girls who were unescorted. Good company.

Travis also attended the affair. He looked quite dapper and even trendy in his black suit and shirt with a red tie. What a stud.

After dinner we were entertained by an illusionist. Then we went down to do some ice skating our selves. This was the first time that I had to rent skates in my life as my old hockey skates broke the last time I took the children a few years ago. The rental center for the skates was on a concrete patio. People would get their skates and immediately try them on while on the concrete. I was horrified! Sure enough the skates were duller than butter knives. The first pair I got were totally useless. The second pair I could make work, but my showing off was drastically limited. It lightly rained on us the whole time, but it was still fun. I didn't mind at all until I went to put my boots back on after the skating session. My Naconas had been out in the rain the entire time. Drat.

Keep an eye out for the next edition of BuecheNet. I will be sure to post a picture of us in all our glory.
