having after-work plans are the best. it feels
like i’m making more of my time, sorta like getting more bang for your buck for
what is the currency of life. today after work, i met up at the mercantile in
worcester. it’s a bar adjacent to ruth chris right behind a parking deck across
from the dcu center. the drive wasn’t too bad, though at times on the freeway
it was congested. i got there at 6:40pm and didn’t leave until 11:30pm. they
had some sort of political event going on upstairs, but it’s cool because i
like when places are lively, especially on a night like monday. the lighting
was ambient, the food was good, but the company was even better. my burger was
surprisingly good. the waitress thought it was too red to be medium, but it was
actually delicious. all in all, it was a good monday night. the best i’ve had
in a while.
although life is about moving forward, i have a feeling when i reflect on tonight it’ll make me want to go back.
