Adventureland

Went for a bike ride this morning with Pete and Glenn. There was some discussion regarding road closures near the low water crossings on the Spicewood Springs loop. We were feeling adventurous, so we headed in that direction.

Sure enough, the road was closed to traffic. The warning sign was to the point:


The first bridge had been washed away by the recent floods. Now, all that remains is the original wood bridge underneath:


Adventurous also describes my diet this week. Had dinner with Kate at Foreign and Domestic and ordered the Roasted Octopus and Maine Scallops - served with crispy potatoes, peppers, chorizo, and squid ink. The squid ink looked really cool - all iridescent like. It made for a great picture, but unfortunately, my camera was not cooperating.

However, I did manage to capture my meal at Dart Bowl on Friday - enchiladas with over-easy eggs on top. The Pearl beer was a bad pairing. I switched to PBRs later.


Saturday, I had dinner at Pei Wei with Maurie and Julia. Their Thai wonton soup is actually pretty good.

Sunday, I went to a reading of Gregg and Charles' new screenplay over at the New Movement Theater on the East side. Beers and brownies followed.

Btw, did you know drinking diluted vinegar alleviates acid reflux. I tried it - it works.
