The last couple of weeks we've had some fun, impromptu opportunities for date nights on Thursday.  What's surprisingly coincidental is that they both took place at the HP Pavilion.  The first was for the Cirque show, Quidam, that was in town for four nights and had discount tickets thanks to TravelZoo.  Our jaws dropped a few times (those human pyramids were incredible) and we're glad we went, but we've decided that traveling Cirque shows are best in the "big top's" more intimate setting.  The second was last night's Sharks game.  Lee's coworker gave us her tickets and we had fun watching them shut out the Dallas Stars 6 - 0 and clinch a spot in the playoffs.  What a great night!  We don't have pictures of either - but it was nice to get out and not feel so tied to the house like we were all last spring and summer.
