I know it's slightly off topic, plus a lot of people have off today, but I figured to get a good range of responses here.

What is your ideal Friday night and state your approximate age.

For simplicity sake, let's assume it's somewhere relatively local to where you live and does involve traveling. For example, flying off to Vegas does not count (but driving does).

Movie, play, drinks, strip club, poker, spending time with kids, seeing a band, playing with a band, a book and a glass of wine?

But ideal regardless of your situation. In other words, your ideal night may be going out to get plastered but you can't do that because you have three kids. It still counts as your ideal night.

Ideal night out is to head on over to the club and get our dance on. I am 50 and my wife is 44. We love all kinds of music, house music, Latin rock, Salsa, Banda which is my wife's all time favorite style of dance. I like it as well, it is fast paste and you hold each other tight. Prefer a place where their is a happening crowd with a packed house. You are not going to see a lot of people our age in the club but we will be there getting it done.

I haven't gotten plastered since I was in my mid-20s, and not that the kids are grown (62 now) don't feel the need to go back to that. For me it's a good brew pub for dinner and 1-2 (good) beers with my wife. I love a good road trip but that's for Saturday.

That's really cool. Dancing is a fun and active thing to do. If I was better at salsa, I would do it a lot more.

That's fun too.

Truth be told, I am 40 and my ideal night is still going out drinking. Not power drinking or challenging each other to drinking contests, but good food, conversation, and letting the drinks flow until the end of the night.

Mixing that with a few good friends and a variety of activities such as dancing, karaoke, and live music and good conversation is my ideal.

Obviously none of that happening tonight...

My wife and I always work out after office hours and Friday is no different. I usually work from a home office, or am traveling to visit clients. If I am home, we will usually go running/walking for about an hour or so, to unwind. Then, I will have a glass of beer and then freshen up and go out, or cook a great dinner at home.

Ideal Fri night is relaxing dinner @ home watching TV & staying up all night until I get sleepy OR going out to movies & dinner.

I'm 40, but was like my whole life. I'm so NOT into the bar/club/dance/party scene.

Oh man... I hope to have your energy at that age! Keep it up - that's so awesome!

Last night was ideal. My son came to my house with a bag of food and cooked dinner for me. I had a very nice IPA with the steak he grilled. After dinner, we sat on the porch for a while. We wrapped up the evening by watching a segment of an HBO series we've been watching.

My ideal Friday night is a gig that pays real well, doing a show either at a nice country club or maybe a barn dance somewhere. Or, just front porch sittin with a cooler of cold drinks and a small group of rednecks just talking and enjoying each other's company.
