This happened a couple of weeks ago, and I'm just now getting to it. Angel and I went to a Masquerade ball that one of her old high school friend put on. It was a lot of fun to dress up and go to a dance. We even got masks. I had to wear my contacts because glasses clearly wouldn't work. Angel looked great. She enjoys getting dressed up and she does a good job of it.
We dropped the kids off at my parents and went to dinner. It was our first real date in a long time. We took our time with dinner, went window shopping and still manged to show up at the ball ten minutes early. I really tried to not be early. I've been early to many dances and it often feels awkward when there is very few other people there. Luckily, I didn't have to look for a partner. That is one of the biggest benefits of being married - you always have a date and a dance partner. It's been a while since we've danced and, surprisingly, Angel wore me out and not the other way around. They had a good mix of music and they also had a live band. The band consisted of a lead and bass guitarists, drums, two trumpets and a trombone. Unfortunately for everybody there, their drummer and bassist didn't have any conception of dynamic dynamics. They only played at one volume - loud. it was impossible to hear what the singer was singing and while the rest of the band could be heard the room was not big enough for that volume of music to be comfortable. It was really starting to bug me, but fortunately they only played for an hour of so and then it went back to the sound machine. Dee saw some good friends and we enjoyed talking with folks. All in all, it was a blast.
