Weight training: legs. Breakfast at home: cherry pie for me, eggs and grits and toast for Patrick. Sat in Dolores Park. Walking to the park along 18th Street we came across a woman dressed quite stylishly in a very loud dress imprinted with flowers. Patrick took a second glance back after we passed her and saw that she had a bowl of fruit salad tucked under her arm. He laughed, thinking how righteous it was for her to be carrying a bowl of fruit salad while wearing that dress, and I had to agree. At Dolores Park, we sat on a bench and read from our books and watched dogs play. Coffee and chai at Maxfield's, a relatively new coffee shop at Dolores and 17th. Patrick thinks the owner of Jumpin Java opened Maxfield's, but he's not certain. Went to BriKelJess's—Brian let us see and sniff the soap he's been making in the kitchen—delightful! His e-shop is indeed open for business—check it out at mayobaby.com. Jesse is away in Michigan for his sister's graduation. Brian told us a short but heartwarming story about a phone call with him—another milestone in the Saga of Jesse. Dinner with BriKel and Patrick at Chow: small hearts of romaine salad with blue cheese dressing, mozz and basil pizza for me, greek pizza for Patrick, chicken salad for Brian, pork chops for Kel. Watched Simpsons "Fraudcast News" at BriKel's. Patrick makes coconut creme brulee for tomorrow. We watch Simpsons and parts of the 50th Tony Awards and parts of Star Trek Voyager. Patrick got a little bit of sunburn on his neck and shoulders from today's sun.
