Date Night at the Ball Game and Casey Anthony Update

Brad and I started doing 'date night' a few months back.
Once a week we try to do something new. Whether it be a new restaurant, area of town or event -- we are trying to broaden our horizons.
This week's date night took us to The Charlotte Knights game, our city's minor league baseball team.
We both had been once before but it was a long time ago.
The stadium is only about 5-minutes from our house.
 Last night was a double header against the Durham Bulls and the Knights kicked some butt!!
 These games are very family friendly and cheap.  $8 for a general admission ticket and there are all sorts of things for kids to do, aside from watch the game.
 The weather was gorgeous last night.  In the 80's with no humidity.  Perfect night for a game!
 Another plus is that Thursday is Thirsty Thursday at the stadium which means $1 beers.
I'm not a huge beer fan but can stand for one or two.
Another game is totally on our list for another date night.  Cheap, close by and fun!  Do you do date nights?What do you guys do?

Casey Anthony Update:
Now for my update on my thoughts about the latest in the Casey Anthony Trial.
WOWZERS!
Drama rama this week with the Anthony family on the stand.  George's testimony broke my heart and I was stunned at how stone faced Casey was.
Stone faced through that but then starts crying when some grief counselor she's never even met starts talking about different scenerios?
Really?
As for the Defense - what a joke.
Brad said to me this morning that he thought she has one of the worst attorneys in America working for her.
I agree.
For one -- they didn't prove anything they brought up in their opening statements and secondly, I think the way they set up their case with parading witnesses back and forth on the stand was just crappy.
I'm not a juror but I can't see how they wouldn't think that Baez has badgered George.

As for the Prosecution --I think they've done a great job. 
Ashton is brilliant and so much more experienced than Baez.  That's evident.
I really thought it was funny yesterday when the spectator decided to flip Ashton off in court and got busted and ended up jail.
Will this case wrap by the Fourth of July?
I don't think so.
In case you're not watching today -- right now they're in an indefinite recess as the Defense deposing some of the Prosecution's rebuttal witnesses.
Are you watching?
What do you think?

Have a GREAT Fourth of July!!!
