Le Triomphe

December 19, 2002 - 3:00 p.m.

In addition to a tan packet of sugar cubes, you also get a chocolate almond here with your espresso. An old woman was sitting at a table set up in front of one of the entrances, and the waiter came up and asked if she would please move to another table since the lunch rush was over. She moved, all the way out of the café, and he folded up the table and chairs and unlocked one of the doors. Inevitably, everyone entering or exiting first tries the door that is still locked before realizing they have to use the other door. I wonder why that is.

To my left is a Playboy pinball machine and a Virual Striker 3 soccer video game. When I look to my right, I'm looking through the window of a holiday log cabin that is painted onto the real window. It appears to be the log cabin where Santa Claus lives, since an elf looks out of one of the other windows, and an elf and reindeer are painted as standing in the grass nearby.
