Topic: Lets Meet After Work

I didn't know what to write about so I wrote about a night out my wife and I had a while back. Someone gave us tickets to see a local minor league baseball team and it sounded fun so we made plans to meet after work. I didn't know that she had a golf lesson that was going to take a while so I spent some time waiting at a local Arby's (for those of you who don't know Arby's check here: http://www.arbys.com/). Anyway that`s where the song came from. I hope you like it. The song that is not Arby's although it's okay if you like Arby's...I do.  smile

Re: Lets Meet After Work

Jeff, I have come to conclusion that waiting for my wife to get somewhere must be part of the fun of being married.  If I were habitually late, it would drive me nuts.

Seems like y'all probably missed a few innings of the game - too bad, but it was probably just the part where a bunch of guys ran around in matching outfits. . . .

Good song - James

Re: Lets Meet After Work

Hi jeff
I sometimes wonder how much of my life has been spent waiting for my other half. smile
I still can't workout why I'm ready to go out in 5 minutes. Yet it takes my wife 2 hours.
Good little number.

Regards

Arkady

Re: Lets Meet After Work

smile - Yep, I like to people watch. Not much choice that day either but Arby's on a Friday afternoon can put on a show and a half if you're observant.
