Dinner at Salt House

Tom and I met at a volunteer event about five years ago. And a month after our first encounter we became roommates. See, a good deed goes a long way!

Tonight Tom took me to Salt House for dinner. And let me tell you, the food is amazing! We met for an early dinner at 6 o'clock because Tom had to catch BART to go home. But the company was just as awesome as the food. We got carried away with the time and by the time we got out of there, it was past 10.

It was so sweet of Tom to offer me money for a cab ride but I insisted on taking the bus. So he waited with me by the bus stop and watched me getting on bus 38. As soon as I sat down, I received a text message from Dave.

Dave: "Miso tired. How's dinner?"

My reply: "Fabulous dinner at Salt House. On my way home now on bus 38."

Dave: "Nice! I've never been there. I'll see you online when you get back. How long is the bus ride?"

My reply: "35 to 45 minutes; after getting off the bus, gotta walk from Geary to Fulton. It's about 5 blocks."

Dave: "I can meet you at the bus stop and give you a ride home. I was thinking of hitting Safeway. So it wouldn't be a problem."

Just like that. Dave was nice enough to come all the way from the other side of the park to come get me and give me a ride home that lasted only 5 blocks. Thanks Dave!
