A cool fall evening . . .

Waco has the unique ability to hold on to summer for as long as possible. Not to fault Waco by any stretch of the imagination, someone even made a movie about an endless summer, though Waco doesn't have the best surfing. Here in this great city we have little fall-esque teasers before we ever actually get fall. But based on the past two weeks, I'd say we can safely say that fall has arrived. 

Last night was a wonderful fall evening, it was cool, crisp and fresh. The evening was perfectly complimented by great food and even better company. Our evening began with a warm cup of coffee at Common Grounds, one of my all time favorite local establishments. Followed by Bangkok Royal, another very cherished local restaurant. I ordered the usual . . . Panang Curry, by which I have yet to be disappointed in my many years of patronage. I wish I could remember the name of the particular variety of Pad (a Thai flat noodle, I think) that the beautiful lady sitting across from me ordered, either way it was delicious. The evening progressed to the Dancing Bear Pub, a favorite of the Blue Bike guys and many of our good friends. Sitting outside on a crisp fall evening sipping Shiner Bock Beer, enjoying great conversation and telling too many fishing stories put the polish on a perfect Waco evening.
