Friday Night Treats

After two long meetings today I left work early to go get treats. Tonight I settled for an iced mocha at Gold Bar. I started going to Gold Bar a few years ago after The Muse closed. That closing made me sad. The Muse had the comfiest couches around and free wireless that usually worked. I miss The Muse.

I've spent a lot of time at Gold Bar working and reading. It is usually pretty quiet in there, unless it is Friday night when they have live jazz. It is very loud when they play inside. Many of the regulars (and employees) are students at one of the many local colleges so it can get busy around exam time. There is usually a pretty good selection of treats in the case. I haven't sampled too many of the usual items but I have had good cheesecake, muffins, and an eclair. One time I had a slice of an orange chocolate cake that I was disappointed by. It wasn't bad or anything, I was just hoping it would taste more like the orange chocolate that I would get in my Easter basket when I was little.

Looks like it's time for the weekend. Enjoy!

I had the wireless work for me at the Muse exactly once, but I do agree about the couches.

Hope you get more treats this weekend! Enjoy!

It seems I had better luck with the wireless than you. I really do miss those couches.
