Breakfast at home: hot lemonade with simple syrup, 2 slices of wheat toast with butter, 1 organic banana. House chores: ironing, vacuuming. More computer troubleshooting. OS X seems to be working, but I'm not sure what of the thousand things I did fixed it. Currently uninstalling Sophos seems to have been the fix, but I'm not certain of that. Since OS X hung while my Win 7 VM was active, the next time I started Win 7 it tried to do a Startup Repair. After it took longer than I thought it would, I tried to cancel the Startup Repair operation, and then it told me that the operation was not cancelable. (Then, why did you offer me a Cancel button?) I shut down the VM and restored from a manual VM backup which took about 45 minutes. Yoga: standing warmup practice, beginner 2 practice. Lunch at home: pan-fried gyoza, hot water. Web work for Kristin and Drew. More VMware Fusion troubleshooting. Cut my hair, showered. Ric's fundraiser at the Lookout. Burgers Super Duper with Ric, Larry, Eric, Matt W. Ric had a vanilla shake that had an ovoid lump of unknown substance at the bottom—a woman working there said it was brown sugar—whew! This was my first time eating cow since (I think) Patio Filipino—stomach felt a little uneasy, but I'm not certain that cow was the cause. Leche at Trigger with Emery, Ric, Larry, Eric, Matt W, Eugene, and Hao.
