Basic 4 for breakfast. Patrick brought back some dim sum after sword practice with Sam, so had that—yummy. We drove out to the Castro, got a car wash at Divisadero, strolled Castro Street, shared a grilled shrimp burrito at La Tortilla, stopped in at A Different Light Bookstore but didn't buy anything. We had coconut cake, ginger tea, and coffee at Sweet Inspirations while I read from Queer Fear and Patrick did Mandarin studies. Drove up to Twin Peaks just before sunset. At home, one of my old Advent Mini speakers died while we were listening to one of Patrick's mixes. I think I bought those speakers in 1988 or 1989, so it had lasted a long time. Dinner at home with Patrick: stir-fried chicken with string beans and red bell peppers. Vacuumed up a bunch of spiders.
