Date Night

Tonight, is date night.  Up until GG came home and reminded me, I had completely forgotten that The Hubs and I had a hot date planned for tonight.  This is how rare date night actually is in my house.

Now, I know many of you will not consider what we have plans to do, as a "hot date".  In fact, most of you wouldn't consider it a "date" at all.  But I am a full fledged geek and have had many years to come to grips with my geek-ed-ness.

For example, I'm a web director and know lots and lots about web coding and data bases.  I also am a huge sci-fi fan.  I loved Star Wars, Star Trek, and Star Gate, as well as Firefly/Serenity, Babylon 5, and FarScape.  And I openly admit, that I've not only been to a sci-fi conventions, I've been to a Star Trek convention and got to see Scottie from Star Trek (albeit from afar) before he passed away.  I've never dressed up, so I don't consider myself a fanatic, but I do love all that stuff.

So don't laugh when I tell you, that tonight, The Hubs and I are heading to the local community college campus to see a JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratories - NASA) lecture on The Mars Laboratory: Search for Habitable Environments.  Hey!  I said don't laugh.  

This may not seem like a good date for a lot of people, but I expect this will be a great presentation, and I can't wait to spend a few hours with The Hubs, sans kids listening to it all. 

Seriously.. Thoughts?

PS.  Those boots, with the cuffs?  Yeah, they're growing on me.
