Have you ever had one of those days when you wanted to get out of town for the day? It didn't have to be anywhere exotic or special, or for any good reason but "just because." You have a cage parked outside or inside your garage that works just fine, but part of the reason you want to get out of town you figured out was because you felt trapped and needed to escape. And, being inside a cage was just a reminder of why you wanted to get out of town. Fortunately, outside or inside your garage you have an iron pony!
Well, on September 25th I wanted to get out of town because I felt trapped and I needed to escape. And, the best prescription for my condition was getting some lunch and a healthy two hour dose of wind therapy to Athens, Ohio. Home of the first land grant institution of higher education in Ohio, Ohio University, as well as being voted one of the best party schools in the nation by US News, and "Simms Cemetery, known for being one of the graveyards that makes up the Athens pentagram (http://hauntedathensohio.com).
Since I had not ever been to Athens, I had no idea what was there or (of course) where to go. I rode around town a bit with no idea what I really wanted to eat, so I parked my bike, walked into one of the trendy student shops, and asked the chick working there where was a good place to chow down. She named off a few places, then said the bagel shop called Bagel Street Deli next door had some tasty treats.
Bagel Street Deli is just down the street from OU, and the interior looks like most student eateries on Any Campus U.S.A. There isn't really anything outstanding I can talk about except for one thing....THE FOOD IS FUCKING OUTSTANDING! I had ordered a roast beef bagel thinking it would taste like one I can make in my own kitchen, but damn, that bagel was delicious.
After I had finished my roast beef bagel, I hopped back on my bike, rode through town one more time, then hit the freeway for my two hour wind therapy session back home. As I was heading back to C-Bus I remembered I wanted to stop off at Wayne National Forest to chill out a bit & enjoy what God had created on this Big Blue Marble. That September day was a good day!
