firday night a- and i went to dinner for restaurant week at spice market with friends of ours. the prix fixe menu was better than the menu dinner we had some weeks back.

however, the real excitement of the night was during the ride home. our friends had driven into the city and were giving us a lift home. three motorcycles came buzzing by us on the right on a regular two lane city street. we're still not sure if he hit the car or a pothole, but he his bike went careening out of control in front of us and across into the oncoming lane where a cabbie had stopped. the bike slid into the cab and luckily the guy got up and appeared to be fine. (he rode off on a friend's bike and his friend somehow road the damaged bike with a rear flat and all).
