Tough Loss against an Expert

Last night I played an expert (>2000) in a 90' game at the club.  He told me after the game he felt like he was fighting for a draw the entire time. While I appreciated the compliment, my blunder on move 26 still felt like a gut punch.  See if you can find any improvements in the middle game for white.

Solid game vs a tough opponent.  That was the toughest game hes had this tourney.  I kept looking over and thinking it was even.  I didn't see the blunder live.

That is a difficult position...What about 26 Rd-e1 ?
