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 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pureaustin.com/PureTrainers/Pure_Specialists/Nathan_Miller.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;man&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; race his booty off at a local race. Fresh air outside of Austin proper, great company with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1037891955"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Nicole and Ethan,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; a nice cold or lukewarm toddy and sometimes ending with good 'ole Tex Mex.  all leading up to the  anticipation of the coming weekend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6637405434823419165-2541904240409499776?l=pragmaticyetcongenial.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pragmaticyetcongenial.blogspot.com/feeds/2541904240409499776/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6637405434823419165&amp;postID=2541904240409499776' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637405434823419165/posts/default/2541904240409499776'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637405434823419165/posts/default/2541904240409499776'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pragmaticyetcongenial.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-favorite-day-of-week.html' title='my favorite day of the week'/><author><name>Heather S.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13422102461158779526</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637405434823419165.post-3946313131805181997</id><published>2008-09-22T09:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-22T09:51:23.475-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Commuting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new blog'/><title type='text'>Commuting</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_02YrNrrwdjI/SNfMhgBIzFI/AAAAAAAAAu0/7Fiabqh40hs/s1600-h/Commuter+bike.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_02YrNrrwdjI/SNfMhgBIzFI/AAAAAAAAAu0/7Fiabqh40hs/s200/Commuter+bike.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248888766626057298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;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.
