I continue to and will probably forever hate thursdays. At least in the translational neuroscience business. I don't know what it is about this field, but they all seem hell-bent on meeting on thursdays, which means one never gets anything besides meetings accomplished on thursdays.

The day started out with a flat on my road bike. Enrique planned to join me on a sunrise ride on Tramway. We tried to change the flat and caused another flat.
I left in frustration and drove to MRN and swapped out bikes (I switched over to my touring bike). I did a bosque ride heading north instead of south this time. Once I got into the ride, the frustration disappeared. It was a glorious way to spend part of the morning, oh I did have another flat but I just pretended it didn't happen...

Yes, so the day sucked, mainly because I misplaced my wallet. When it was all said and done, it was just _way_ at the bottom of my camelback. But that didn't stop me from frantically searching for it, driving up and back to cedar crest looking for it, driving to replace my New Mexico drivers license and Bank card. Not fun.

Alas, I managed to find it. I met Jessica and Matt for dinner at a new Persian place in Albuquerque. I had a Kurdish dish that was simply amazing. The spices and texture were so different. I would love to try some other things the next time I'm in town.
