Breakfast: oatmeal with organic thompson raisins, organic cinnamon, organic nonfat milk; 16 ounces of generic V8. Web edits for Cindy: curriculum requirements. Facelift project work: sweep and validation. Helped students with various questions by email. Management activities. Lunch by myself at Baan Thai House & Wine Bar (415-379-4505, 534 Irving Street), a new restaurant. The service is socially awkward but seemingly competent. The decor is chic and modern. The music is gay dance. The food is delicious. Soi Gow a block or two away seems a slightly better bang for the buck portionswise. Baan brings to the Inner Sunset the sophisticated dining environments more typically seen downtown and in the Mission. Baan could improve significantly by providing a little more social training for the waitstaff. I had pad thai with shrimp (not spicy) and a thai iced tea—about $12.81 then $1.80 for tip ($14.61). Either today or yesterday I showed Shirin how to replace keyboard feet which had fallen off. Facelift project work with and without Eric D. Completed sweep and validation. Management activities (!). To home. Dinner at home with Patrick: breaded salmon, organic corn off the cob (from frozen), leftover wild rice from Tina. Finished watching The Protector on Netflix DVD with Patrick.
