English muffins with margarine for breakfast. My sore throat is back! Just a little bit sore. Patrick and Sam did sword practice at Stern Grove then went to Chinatown to get a Chinese dictionary and dim sum while I stayed home and did cleaning, laundry, repaired a sock, and the dishes. Removed tree sap from our sliding glass door and washed the window. Cleaned up my bicycle which had been sitting in the backyard since we moved in—we simply didn't have space inside to keep it, so it has accumulated a bit of rust. I hated having to do it, but this apartment was the best thing we could find at the time. The rust isn't too bad—mostly the chain. Added my personal Web site to dmoz. Patrick and Sam came back with dim sum just as I was about to leave for the drug store, so we all went inside and had some delicious shau mai and other treats. Sam left, then I walked to the drug store, and Patrick stayed home and mixed music and worked on Second Island. Selected some books from my collection that I didn't want anymore and will try to sell. Took a shower, then a nap. Patrick studied Chinese. Dinner with Patrick at King of Thai Noodle Cafe. Installed phpOpenTracker 0.9.12. It took me hours—I blame it on poor documentation.
