Patrick's mom went to church at Most Holy Redeemer in the Castro. Patrick and I got a quick bite to eat at the French cafe next to Superstar on Castro Street. I went to Jamie's to help him set up his printer and some other software. Patrick and his mom went to Sweet Inspirations where I met them and then we all went to Rainbow Market for a few groceries. My eyes have been itching a lot lately, and I recently read an article in a newsletter called The Advocate for eczema sufferers about how one woman successfully got rid of her baby's eczema by not using chemical (detergent) based soaps. I got a 6 bars and a gallon of Dr. Bronner's unscented baby mild. (The unscented babies work the best.) We're going to try using it for just about everything—body, face, dishes, clothes. Dinner at home with Patrick and his mom: tempura shrimp with dipping sauce, southwestern salad, sage pork chops. Patrick interviewed his mom. We recorded it on the computer using a really cheap microphone.
