Identifying the perfect Friday night

They call it "T.G.I.F." for a reason, and this week, ROUTE 1 readers provide some of those reasons by answering the following FRIDAY QUESTION:

"What's your idea of a perfect Friday night?"

RICK T. -- Go out for a fine supper and a walk on the beach!

BEKAH P. -- Me getting engaged to Jason Segel. Wait... We were talking about Fantasy Friday, right?

JIM S. -- Well, that has definitely changed over the years.
During my 20s, it was warm up with a few beers with friends before going out to party at the disco til the ball quit spinning (sans silk shirt, tho!)

In my 30s, it was covering a high school game, whipping out the game story, then heading out after deadline with fellow TH sports guys for a nightcap - possibly even in East Dubuque.

In my 40s, it was going out to a quieter night spot and maybe staying out til midnight.

In my 50s, it's relaxing at home with Kris and contemplating going out on Saturday night.

KERSTIN H. -- Hanging out with friends, not thinking about anything.

BRIAN M. -- Simply, a night out with friends, with dinner, watching comedians, libating, laughing.

JOHN S. -- Pizza and a movie.

ERIK H. -- Good music, maybe sitting outside by the backyard fire.
