Slept in until about 11. Breakfast: black cherry yogurt, English muffin. Cleaned up the house some. Prepared for running errands. Bought a Mac Mini from the Apple Store online. Ran errands: smog check, clock repair shop, grocery. Patrick and I drove to Golden Gate Park to sit for a while enjoying the warm weather. Today was unusually hot—85 degrees, which in San Francisco can be called a scorcher. Grocery shopping at Tower Market. Back to home. For the past couple of weeks I'd been getting the following error message when starting Outlook 2003: "Cannot start the reminder service. Unable to show reminders." I tried some suggested solutions I found on the web. The first and second one: [ "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /cleanreminders ] and [ "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /safe ] did not work. The third one did: [ "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /resetfolders ] I got 40 reminders all at once after starting Outlook with the /resetfolders option. I quit Outlook and restart it—no more "Cannot start the reminder service. Unable to show reminders." error message! Hooray! Did more logo work for Corinna. Dinner at home with Patrick: chinese chicken salad, leftover pasta and mac and cheese. Dessert: coconut sorbet. Watched about 50 minutes of Desperately Seeking Susan.
