Patrick and I took a taxi to Hillcrest. We had breakfast at Whole Foods, then took a taxi to Tina's. A basketball movie played on the TV; we hung out. Tina, Daniel, Patrick, and I left for House of Blues Gospel Brunch in downtown San Diego. We ate mac and cheese; biscuits and gravy; bacon; sausage; omelette station; carved roast turkey; carved prime rib; jambalaya; salad; cornbread; muffins; cookies; waffles with syrup, whipped cream, and strawberries; bread pudding; mushroom penne; more. After the huge brunch, a gospel choir delivered a fun and amazing performance. We learned how to do The Dip, one soloed Happy Birthday - Happy Anniversary - Happy Book Club Anniversary for the people in the audience. Tina wanted to leave a few minutes before it ended so we did. Back to Tina's. Daniel drove Patrick and I to the Casey home in Del Mar. We played with the dog Molly and met Allison for the first time. Dinner in: Chinese takeout. Patrick and I took a Mercedes taxi (chartered driver) back to Tina's. We hung out for hours with Tina talking and eating a platter of cheeses, fruits, and chocolate. Tina drove us back to Doubletree.
