Adventures on a Friday

            Beginning on Friday afternoon, right after work, I went to the tennis court to play some tennis with my daughter, her boyfriend, my husband, and my youngest son.  My youngest son, Zachary, cannot play very well, so he ended up just chasing after the tennis balls.  He enjoyed just being there and wanted to go back again this Friday.  My daughter and her boyfriend had originally made the plans to go play and asked the rest of us if we wanted to join them.  My husband, Billy, and my daughter’s boyfriend, Blake, ended up playing several rounds between the two of them, and my daughter, Stephanie, and me ended up  “playing at” tennis, since we aren’t very good at the game.

            It turned out to be a cool, overcast afternoon, just nice enough to play tennis without getting too hot.  Finally, when the guys got good and warmed up, they asked if we wanted to join them for a round of doubles.  Of course, Stephanie and I were delighted to partner with “the guys” to play some tennis.  I learned a few things that I didn’t know already about the game, and my daughter and I realized we were definitely going to need some more practice.

            After an hour or so, the skies turned dark, so we headed for home.  We all went out to eat that evening and had a pleasant dinner out with our family.  We decided to go to El Nopal for dinner.  After finishing our meal, we gathered ourselves and headed out the door.  In the parking lot, while climbing into our car, we witnessed an abhorrent scene; there was a guy urinating in the parking lot.  Fortunately for us, he was facing the opposite direction, but we all knew what event was taking place.  I quickly hurried my children into the car, and we headed for home.  As we were driving from the parking lot, I called 911 to report this indecent scene that myself and my family had witnessed.  They sent an officer to the scene immediately.  It is just unimaginable that a person would think it's okay to act that way in public.  I have never in my life witnessed such an event and would like never to see it again.
