Morning run: 30 minutes. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Shopping with Patrick in the Castro. Lunch at Sausage Factory: sausage and mushroom pizza. Ran in to Phil on 18th, chatted for a bit. They were doing laundry at Sit and Spin. Patrick and I shared a mocha at Phil'z Coffee. Mom Ryan invited us to the 15th Annual Candlelight Christmas Concert with the Mission Dolores Basilica Choir (Jermoe Lenk, conductor). The first half was slow and sleep-inducing, and the second half was more spirited and fun. I think everyone's favorite part was when the rose petals fell gently from the domed ceiling on top of the audience.
