Evening out on the town

This evening I skipped the gym and headed out to the Bishop Art's District in Dallas. They have a wine walk the first Thursday of each month and I met up with some coworkers.

This place is only a mile or so from my home so I decided to bike over so I could try out my new lights I bought for the bike so I can ride after dark.

There are more hills in this part of Dallas than the rest of the flat prairie that Dallas sits on. I had worked up a sweat by the time I got there. We chatted, had sushi and some wine. We ended the evening in a fun local tavern. As I was leaving I reached into my pocket for the key to the bike lock.... but it wasn't there! Holy shit!

We retraced our steps from the evening and we found it! Apparently I dropped it in the specialty chocolate shop and someone turned it in to the owners! YAY!

I'm now home, safe and sound. The lights worked great!

Tomorrow is Friday! YAY!

Lucky you and the keys... For SxSW we caught the new metro rail to downtown Austin and I realized I lost my car key when we got back to the station later that night. Have tried CapMetro Lost and Found and SxSW, but no keys... we were all over downtown Austin, so who knows where I lost it... worst part is it's HONDA... about $70 to place and have to have all copies and keys together when they reprogram it...geeze

Glad you found yours

Biking - I wish I did more of it! I'm like 1 mile to work, gym and yoga - but still I can't find to ride! I guess it's like way too hot to ride!
