First thing on my agenda when I reached Dallas on Saturday was to have lunch with ShesTooMuch at Twisted Root burgers.  Fortunately the restaurant was literally down the street from the hotel Veronica and I stayed at 2 weeks ago, so I knew exactly where I was going!  After a delicious lunch, we walked down the street to a mural park I noticed on the way there so that I could take some pictures. (Click on any picture to view it full-sized in a new window)

We then decided to drive up to White Rock Lake and hang out there until she had to return home.  We spent another hour or so enjoying the perfect weather and the pleasure of each others company.  How about this view of the Dallas skyline?

After we parted ways, I spent some time exploring the area before meeting other friends for a night out in Ft Worth.  The whole reason for this little trip was to see theBsideOFme again.  Veronica and I met her and some others back in February when she was in Massachusetts and we had talked about getting together while I was down here.  It took 8 weeks, but we finally succeeded!  We were also joined by OnlyWhenI, big_diel,  SpecialK, PandaDementia and jstolle for dinner on the outdoor patio of a very good (and popular!) Mexican restaurant, followed by a night at a karaoke bar.

Panda can sing, that girl is good!!!  Unfortunately the same could not be said of some of the other bar patrons.  Though the pretty brunette at the table behind me was a pleasure to watch AND listen too!  We could have done without the crowd of drunk TCU idiots who showed up around midnight, but I didn’t let their antics spoil my fun.

Thanks to everyone I visited with yesterday, it was well worth the trip!!

In yesterday’s HNT post I mentioned the possibility of meeting some bloggers along the way to Texas, knowing full well that I already had plans to meet Minority Report for lunch.  She works pretty close to the route I would be taking, so I asked her to suggest some places to eat.

This is one of the places she suggested.  Based solely on the name, we HAD to eat there!

MR is a very pleasant young woman and it was entirely my pleasure to take a break from the seemingly endless drive yesterday and enjoy her company for a short while!

She wrote a blog entry about our lunch date as well, you can read it here.

Thanks MR, for an enjoyable lunch date!

==============================================================================

Driving to the diner, I was experiencing a sense of deja vu, like I had been there before.

And then I realized, I WAS there before!

Of all the places to suggest for lunch, the diner was literally down the street from the hotel that Veronica and I shacked up in for one night of fun and fucking with SwingerWife and her husband, almost 2 years ago!  Many of you probably don’t remember my old blogspot blog, and SwingerWife’s blog is long gone, but when Veronica and I were taking our first tentative baby steps into the swinging lifestyle, SW was our long-distance mentor and guide.  She and I have fallen out of touch, but being back in that area, seeing the hotel we stayed at and the restaurant where we had dinner brought back some pleasant memories.

Today, another 500 miles or so of driving and a night in Atlanta….
