Friday night lights

A book, a movie and an entire series have been made about the genre of high school football under the lights. Yeah, it's a huge deal in Texas and elsewhere. I guess.

Friday night lights came to Hyde Park, where I live. Our school district voters approved the renovation and building of a new stadium -- turf field, track, bleachers, concession stands, the whole nine yards (or in this case, 100 yards?). Last night was the great unveiling, and we were there to see it. The home team crushed the visiting team, the place was packed, seemingly the entire town was there and everyone was happy. Since our children currently attend or will attend the high school, the upgraded facilities will benefit them and the thousands of other students at the school, so it was great to see. Also great to see our favorite new middle school teacher and her friend in attendance.

Go Presidents.
