It was the 25 year class reunion for the class of '85. Â It was HOT outside, but it was hot and stuffy inside.
When I left the Raleigh area, it was projected to be in the mid 90's. When I got to Richmond it was already 97 degrees. Â By the time I got to my hotel in Rochester, it was 94 degrees. Â I swear it was easily 95 degrees inside Cosmos. Â The fans provided little relief, and a circulating air flow was non existent. Â I had to remind myself I was in the great white north, where air conditioning is seldom used.
The heat aside, I can't say I'm a fan of bars. Â Cosmos was okay but that was about it. Â If I wanted red wine I had one choice... a cheap merlot. Â That had to do. Â My bride bailed out on me about an hour into the evening and called my little brother to come pick her up.
Being it's a "Restrnt" I was expecting a food menu... they didn't appear to have one.
On the plus side, the bartender was on the ball... it was a busy night and she was keeping up easily.
