I woke at around 8:30 am and Patrick woke up an hour later. I had gone to sleep very late. Stayed up to read and edit more of Second Island. I had started chapter 16 when I decided to stop at 3:00 am. Consequently, we shared breakfast (oatmeal again), and Patrick went to Jumpin Java while I went back to bed to sleep until the early afternoon. I woke up again, vacuumed the bathroom, paid bills. We got a late dinner at World Wrapps. "Never again," I said, after having been served lettuce that had turned brown and potstickers whose edges were turned hard from sitting out. I wrote on a napkin: "If you expect your customers to return, then serve fresh lettuce and fresh potstickers," and we left it for whoever was to clear our table. After dinner, we saw Nicola Harwood's closing night of "Horse Latitudes"—a play about young love and Native American life in Canada.
