The day I forgot my bike shorts and somehow had the best commute ever

Last Tuesday I was running late (typical) and realized halfway to my bike that I left my padded shorts on the drying rack. I figured I'd just tough it out in my regular jeans for the 4 mile ride to the dental office. Weirdest thing though, the weather was perfect at 68 degrees and I caught every green light, which never happens on my usual route through downtown Seattle. Has anyone else had one of those days where everything just clicks even when you mess up?

That's the universe rewarding you for rolling with the punches or something. Same thing happened when I forgot my tire pump once and somehow didn't get a flat for weeks after.

Did you get that weird feeling like you were in a parallel universe where everything was easy? My buddy Danny once biked to a barbecue without his messenger bag and found a twenty dollar bill stuck in his bike spokes when he got there. He spent the whole afternoon winning at cornhole and even got a ride home from a stranger who turned out to be his neighbor from two blocks away. It's like the universe goes out of its way to make you feel like a fool for overplanning.
