my favorite day of the week

is definitely THURSDAY. Why you ask? I think it goes back to college even though I did not go out much. Thursday night is the first night of the "school week" in which you don't feel like a total booze-hound if you go and get your drink on. That also translates to the working life. Most Thursday nights, I go and watch my man race his booty off at a local race. Fresh air outside of Austin proper, great company with Nicole and Ethan, a nice cold or lukewarm toddy and sometimes ending with good 'ole Tex Mex.  all leading up to the  anticipation of the coming weekend.

this weekend will be a true test of  riding the new commuter bikes around town, due to ACL + the UT vs. Arkansas football game and the basic Austin road rage. However, Nathan is "safety first" so I am sure we'll be fine. The true question is when I will take a tumbling off this bike.

Commuting

Today was the first day I commuted to work via bike and it was so easy, it spurred me to jump on on the blog train. Not only has my "helmet hair" disappeared but I can still smell my perfume and know that I did not pump pollution into the air on the first day of fall.
